IL-1β secretion from living cells.a Cell-based assay using human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells transfected with NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β. IL-1β concentrations were evaluated by ELISA after a 16-h incubation with Aβ monomers, oligomers, or fibrils. b Cell-based assay using human peripheral mononuclear cells. IL-1β concentrations were evaluated by ELISA after a 16-h incubation with Aβ oligomers. c Caspase-1 activation in cell lysates was detected by immunoblotting corresponding to b. Cleaved-caspase-1 is indicated by arrowheads
