immune system
N |
• macrophage exhibit normal assembly of caspase-1-activating inflammosome complexes
|
• thymocytes cultured with dexamethasone to induce apoptosis exhibit reduced YO-PRO-1 dye uptake and fail to release ATP unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
• apoptotic thymocytes fail to recruit macrophages in a transwell migration assay unlike wild-type cells
• however, thymocyte apoptosis is normal
