Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium-dependent regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in macrophages by invasins SipB, SipC, and SipD and effector SopE2B J Cherayil
Mucosal Immunology Laboratory, Combined Program in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, Massachusetts 02129, USA
Infect Immun 68:5567-74. 2000..These observations suggest that iNOS expression is regulated by signals activated by SopE2 (and possibly SopE) and that the role of SipB, SipC, and SipD in this process is to facilitate translocation of the relevant effector...
Inducible nitric oxide synthase and Salmonella infectionB J Cherayil
Mucosal Immunology Laboratory, Combined Program in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02129, USA
Microbes Infect 3:771-6. 2001..This review summarizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in the induction process, and discusses the functional significance of nitric oxide production in the context of host defense against Salmonella...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in intestinal immunity and inflammationBobby J Cherayil
Pediatric Gastroenterology Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA
Inflamm Bowel Dis 15:1391-6. 2009..However, its precise role in intestinal immunity is not well understood. This review will summarize the current state of knowledge about IDO function, particularly as it pertains to inflammatory responses in the gut...

Mac-2-binding glycoproteins. Putative ligands for a cytosolic beta-galactoside lectinI Rosenberg
Molecular Immunology Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston
J Biol Chem 266:18731-6. 1991..N-terminal sequence analysis of M2BP-2 suggests that these glycoproteins represent a unique subset of candidate ligands for this mammalian beta-galactoside lectin...
