IL-18-driven IFN-γ secretion to T. gondii depends on multiple redundant inflammasomes. (a) Percent of IFN-γ+ cells amongst total CD3NKp46+ cells in the spleen 24 h after i.v. injection of 107 T. gondii ME49 tachyzoites into B6 mice and different mouse strains lacking either Caspase1/11, Nlrp1, Nlrp3 or Nlrp1 and Nlrp3. (b) Serum IL-18 concentrations 24 h after i.v. injection of 107 T. gondii ME49 tachyzoites into B6 mice and different mouse strains lacking either Caspase1/11, Nlrp1, Nlrp3 or Nlrp1 and Nlrp3. Results are presented as individual data points of 3–25 mice per group from at least two pooled independent experiments. Statistical analyses: Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Significant differences within each mouse genotype are indicated by asterisks: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001; n.s. not significant. Further significance values are shown in Tables S1 and S2.
