ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • knock-down of CASP4 by siRNA reduces NF-kappaB activation and nuclear translocation
  • Casp11(-/-) mice, exhibited defects in IL-1&
  • 946; production and harboured a mutation in the Casp11 locus that attenuated caspase-11 expression
  • loss of caspase-11 rather than caspase-1 protected mice from a lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide
