In sharp contrast, both RIPK1 and RIPK3 proteins were detected within MCMV-infected of wildtype MAIDS-10 mice, as well as MCMV-infected eyes of MAIDS-10 mice deficient in either NLRP3, NLRP1b, or AIM2, all of which exhibited an atypical pattern of retinal disease (Figure 4). This evidence concerns the gene NLRP3 and Abnormal retinal morphology.
