Cd59 for inhibiting inflammasome activation

摘要

Methods and kits are provided for inhibiting inflammasome activation in cells of a subject or an inflammation- affected eye in a subject by administering to the subject a composition including a nucleotide sequence encoding a membrane independent CD59 protein operably linked to a promoter for expression and secretion of the membrane independent CD59 protein in the cells or the inflammation-affected eye thereby or a soluble CD59 protein the composition inhibiting inflammasome activation.
