Changes in the production of nitric oxide and superoxide by inflammatory cells in liver cirrhosis.

abstract：:The downstream signaling components of high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) were studied using yeast two-hybrid screening of the cDNA library constructed from RBL-2H3 cells. The cytoplasmic part of the gamma-chain but not that of the beta-chain was found to interact with pyruvate kinase in the yeast. The in-vitro-...
