Glycoinositolphospholipids of Leishmania major inhibit nitric oxide synthesis and reduce leishmanicidal activity in murine macrophages (1995)
Journal Article
Proudfoot, L., O'Donnell, C. A., & Liew, F. Y. (1995). Glycoinositolphospholipids of Leishmania major inhibit nitric oxide synthesis and reduce leishmanicidal activity in murine macrophages. European Journal of Immunology, 25(3), 745-750. https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.1830250318

Murine macrophages express high levels of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and produce large amounts of nitric oxide when activated with interferon-gamma and lipopolysaccharide in vitro. Nitric oxide is a mediator of a variety of biological funct...
