Caspase-1 in Cx3cr1-expressing cells drives an IL-18-dependent T cell response that promotes parasite control during acute Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Caspase-1 in Cx3cr1-expressing cells drives an IL-18-dependent T cell response that promotes parasite control during acute Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Inflammasome activation is a robust innate immune mechanism that promotes inflammatory responses through the release of alarmins and leaderless cytokines, including IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-18.
