NLRP3-immunocompromised septic patients who survived and recovered from sepsis (n = 3) did not have detectable levels of IL-6 in their plasma at 120 days after the septic episode (Fig. 3a, Supplementary Fig. 3a), but their NLRP3 inflammasome could be activated normally (Fig. 3b, Supplementary Fig. 3b). The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is Sepsis.
