Figure 1
Aluminium-containing adjuvants stimulate macrophages to produce the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1
and IL-18 in a Nalp3 inflammasome-dependent manner.
Figure 2
Caspase-1 activation by aluminium adjuvants requires Nalp3 and ASC.

Alum requires intact endocytic macrophage machinery and causes potassium-gradient-dependent IL-1
secretion without causing significant cell death.
Figure 4
Antibody production and TH2-dependent inflammation induced by aluminium adjuvants are decreased in the absence of Nalp3, ASC and caspase-1.
