Inflammasome sensor NLRP1 controls rat macrophage susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii.

Inflammasome sensor NLRP1 controls rat macrophage susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded species. Rats vary in their susceptibility to this parasite. The Toxo1 locus conferring Toxoplasma resistance in rats was previously mapped to a region of chromosome 10 containing Nlrp1. This gene encodes an inf...
