Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide plus interferon gamma stimulated the L-arginine-.NO pathway of murine, but not human pulmonary alveolar macrophages. Pneumocystis carinii induced .NO production by both murine and human pulmonary alveolar macrophages suggesting that the parasite stimulates L-arginine oxidation in these cells. The potential anti-Pneumocystis activity of .NO warrants further study.Entities:
