Reassessing the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome during pathogenic influenza A virus infection via temporal inhibition

The inflammasome NLRP3 is activated by pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) during infection, including RNA and proteins from influenza A virus (IAV). However, chronic activation by danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) can be deleterious to the host. We show that blocking NLRP3 act...
