Currently, I am studying about the inflammasome activity inhibition using a compound in cultured microglial cell lines. As the common procedure to analyze inflammasome activity is by measuring the secreted IL-1B using ELISA, I would like to know whether we could analyze by measuring the downregulation of inflammasome related genes such as Nlrp3, Asc, Casp1, Il1b, and Il18. Is it possible?
