The role of nitric oxide in innate immunityC Bogdan
Institute of Clinical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene, University of Erlangen, Germany
Immunol Rev 173:17-26. 2000..Some of these effects result from the function of NOS2/NO as an indispensable co-factor for the activation of Tyk2 kinase and, thus, for interleukin-12 and IFN-alpha/beta signaling in natural killer cells...
