Abstract

Bidirectional links between the nervous and immune systems modulate inflammation. The cellular mechanisms underlying the detection of danger-associated molecular patterns and pathogen-associated molecular patterns by the nervous system are not well understood. We hypothesized that the carotid body, a tissue of neural crest origin, detect pathogen associated molecular patterns and danger associated molecular patterns via an inflammasome-dependent mechanism similar to that described in immune cells.
