Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a Multisystem Pathology: Insights into the Role of TNFα.

abstract：:The production of nitric oxide (NO) was measured in cultures of spleen cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), IL-2 or LPS + IL-2. We observed that NO synthesis is increased by IFN-gamma but inhibited by IFN-alpha/beta. This is not the case when IL-2 is present in the cultures, since interferons play a minor rol...
