Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenesis of influenza virus-induced pneumonia: involvement of both nitric oxide and oxygen radicals
Takaaki Akaike,Yoichiro Noguchi,Sumiko Ijiri,Keisuke Setoguchi,Moritaka Suga,Yong Mu Zheng,Bernhard Dietzschold,Hiroshi Maeda +7 more
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.
Omar Bagasra,Frank H. Michaels,Yong Mu Zheng,Lisa Bobroski,Sergei Spitsin,Zhen Fang Fu,Richard Tawadros,Hilary Koprowski +7 more
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
Hilary Koprowski,Yong Mu Zheng,Ellen Heber-Katz,Nigel W. Fraser,Lucy B. Rorke,Zhen Fang Fu,Cathleen A. Hanlon,Bernhard Dietzschold +7 more
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.
Bernhard Dietzschold,Moujahed Kao,Yong Mu Zheng,Zhen Yu Chen,Gerd G. Maul,Zheng Fang Fu,Charles E. Rupprecht,Hilary Koprowski +7 more
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
Takaaki Akaike,Eberhard Weihe,Martin K-H Schaefer,Zhen Fang Fu,Yong Mu Zheng,Wolfgang Vogel,Harald Schmidt,Hilary Koprowski,Bernhard Dietzschold +8 more
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.
