After inflammasome activation, ASC assembles into a large protein complex, which is termed 'speck'. ASC specks can be observed as they reach a size of around 1 μm and in most cells only one speck forms upon inflammasome activation. Hence, ASC speck formation can be used as a simple upstream readout for inflammasome activation. Here, we describe a method for analyzing inflammasome activation by ASC speck visualization. First, we describe the generation of a clonal inflammasome reporter macrophage cell line overexpressing fluorescently tagged ASC. We then discuss stimulation conditions and the microscopic evaluation of ASC speck formation. 000164601 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-899$$a899 - ohne Topic (POF4-899)$$cPOF4-899$$fPOF IV$$x0 000164601 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef Book Series, Journals: pub.dzne.de 000164601 7001_ $$aLatz, Eicke$$b1$$eEditor 000164601 7001_ $$aStutz, Andrea$$b2 000164601 7001_ $$aHorvath, Gabor L.$$b3 000164601 7001_ $$aMonks, Brian G.$$b4 000164601 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)2000062$$aLatz, Eicke$$b5$$eLast author$$udzne 000164601 773__ $$a10.1007/978-1-62703-523-1_8 000164601 909CO $$ooai:pub.dzne.de:164601$$pVDB 000164601 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)2000062$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b5$$kDZNE 000164601 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-899$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vohne Topic$$x0 000164601 9141_ $$y2013 000164601 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2020-09-11 000164601 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2020-09-11 000164601 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)1013024$$kAG Latz$$lInnate Immunity in Neurodegeneration$$x0 000164601 980__ $$acontb 000164601 980__ $$aVDB 000164601 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)1013024 000164601 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
