Screening for genetic aberrations in papillary thyroid cancer by using comparative genomic hybridization.

abstract：:We examined whether L-arginine is a substrate for nitric oxide (NO) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) in vitro. Minimal extracellular arginine (0.04 mmol/L) is required for maximal lymphocyte proliferation after phytohemagglutinin stimulation. In the absence of arginine, proliferation was 41% of n...
