Resumen
Helminth infections can activate multimeric protein complexes called inflammasomes. In this forum we summarize the main effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including control of excessive Th2 response and immunopathology induction. These mechanisms would ensure the survival of both the host and the parasite.
