Reactive nitrogen intermediates, such as nitric oxide (NO), play an important role in host-defense and injury. Human astrocytes released abundant NO upon stimulation with the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-lp, which was potentiated by interferon (1FN)-y and tumor necrosis factor (TNFI-a.

## Abstract Human eosinophilβderived neurotoxin (EDN, RNase2) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP, RNase3) sequences possess as high as 92% identity in their promoter regions. The major difference within this region is a 34βnucleotide (34βnt) segment appeared only in the __edn__ promoter. In addit
Studies extending over a decade have provided compelling evidence to suggest that chronic expression of proinflammatory cytokines in vivo leads to unique regulatory properties that target the cognate immune response in a way that appears to be beneficial to the host. This review focuses on the proto
An association between eosinophilia and neutropenia has been observed in a number of clinical conditions. To probe the role of eosinophils in granulopoiesis, marrow and peritoneal eosinophils, obtained from Schbrosoma munsoni-infected mice, were separated and purified. Normal bone marrow cells were
