A Dirofilaria immitis polyprotein up-regulates nitric oxide production.

Abstract

We investigated the effect of recombinant Dirofilaria immitis polyprotein (rDiAg) on nitric oxide (NO) production by peritoneal macrophages. rDiAg induced NO production by macrophages from wild-type and lipopolysaccharide-hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ, but not CD40(-/-), mice. These results suggest that CD40 is involved in rDiAg-driven NO production by murine macrophages.
