Neither non-toxigenic Staphylococcus aureus nor commensal S. epidermidi activates NLRP3 inflammasomes in human conjunctival goblet cells

PURPOSE: The conjunctiva is a wet mucosal surface surrounding the cornea that is continuously exposed to pathogens. Nevertheless, persistent inflammation is not observed. We examined if the NOD-like receptor pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome functions as a sensor that distinguishes commensal and n...
