(a-c) Brains from (a) p5 and (b) p21 WT mice were evaluated for the mRNA expression of inflammasome component genes (red) Casp1 (p5 n=4, p21 n=2), Aim2 (p5 n=3, p21 n=2), and Gsdmd (p5 n=3, p21 n=2) using RNA scope. (c) Quantification of Casp1 (p5 n=4, p21 n=2), Aim2 (p5 n=3, p21 n=2), and Gsdmd (p5 n=3, p21 n=2) mRNA puncta in the hippocampus per 40X image; from 1 experiment. Error bars depict mean ± s.e.m. n values refer to biological replicates.
