primary murine bone marrow derived
macrophages or human monocyte derived dendritic
cells, infected with live or attenuated Chlamydia trachomatis we report that the live organism activates both canonical and non-canonical inflammasomes, but only canonical inflammasomes controlled IL - 1β processing which preceded pyroptosis.
