Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or a combination of interleukin (IL)-lp and interferon (1FN)-y cause transcriptional induction of a calcium-independent nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in astrocytes and C6 glioma cells. LPS induction of NOS in C6 cells was evidenced by a small amount of nitrite accumulation as

Nitric oxide (NOโข), generated by nitric oxide synthase (NOS II) from immunostimulated cells during infection, plays an important role in host immune defense against microbial invasion. The impact of different rates of NOโข production on host cell function has not been defined. Herein, we describe the
Nitric oxide is generated from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which has at least three isoforms; endothelial-type NOS (eNOS) and brain-type NOS (bNOS) are constitutive enzymes, and inducible-type NOS (iNOS) is expressed after stimulation. Studies by the avidin-biotin immunocomplex method
