## Abstract Increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been found in inflammatory myocardial disease and increased production of nitric oxide (NO) has both an inhibitory effect on virus replication and a cytotoxic effect on host cells. To investigate the relationship between
In murine acute viral myocarditis, natural killer (NK) cells infiltrate the heart first, followed by activated T-cells, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of the myocardial damage. Because of their multipotential effects, cytokines are thought to play a role in the induction and develo
