Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) BMDCs from BL/6, NLRP3 -/- and AIM2 -/- BMDCs were cultured for 24h with 100 live (or no) eggs. IFNβ in supernatants was measured by ELISA. (B) BL/6, NLRP3 -/- and AIM2 -/- BMDCs were pretreated with IFN-I receptor blocking antibody (α-IFNAR1) (20μg/ml) or control IgG (20μg/ml) for 1h before culturing for 24h with 100 live (or no) eggs. IL-1β in supernatants was measured by ELISA. (C) The above mentioned BMDCs were co-cultured with T cells together with 100 live (or no) eggs. IL-17A in 72h supernatants were measured by ELISA. Bars represent the mean +/-SD cytokine levels of three biological replicates from one representative experiment of three with similar results. *p <0.05, **p <0.005, ***p <0.0005
