Although lethal infection induced higher levels of caspases 1 and 4 on day 3 p.i., we detected downregulation of several inflammasomes genes (nlrp1, nlrp3, nlrc12) or slight changes in the expression of several inflammasomes (nlrc4 and aim2) in both mice groups at that time (Table 2 and Fig. 2E). Here, NLRC4 is linked to infection.
