Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of influenza virus-induced pneumonia: involvement of both nitric oxide and oxygen radicals

TL;DR: It is concluded that NO together with O2- which forms more reactive peroxynitrite may be the most important pathogenic factors in influenza virus-induced pneumonia in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the inducible form of nitric oxide synthase in the brains of patients with multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iNOS, one of the enzymes responsible for the production of NO, is expressed at significant levels in the brains of patients with MS and may contribute to the pathology associated with the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in experimentally induced neurologic diseases

TL;DR: The results indicate that nitric oxide produced by cells induced by iNOS may be the toxic factor accounting for cell damage and this may open the door to approaches to the study of the pathogenesis of neurological diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delineation of putative mechanisms involved in antibody-mediated clearance of rabies virus from the central nervous system.

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that an antibody may exert its inhibitory activity even after uptake by the cell and that post-exposure treatment of rats with a mAb that inhibited both virus spread and virus RNA transcription in vitro resulted in viral clearance from the central nervous system and protected the animals against a lethal rabies virus infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of neurotropic virus infection on neuronal and inducible nitric oxide synthase activity in rat brain

TL;DR: Results suggest that both an excessive generation of NO by activated macrophages or microglia, as well as a decrease of NO production in neurons may contribute to the neuropathogenesis of neurotropic virus infections.
