摘要
Nitric oxide (NO) is released locally during inflammatory autoimmune diseases and is believed to contribute to tissue destruction. However, recent studies are not fully consistent with such a simple role for NO. Here, Hubert Kolb and Victoria Kolb-Bachofen discuss data that suggest a role for NO in autoimmune diseases as an important regulator of the T helper 1 (Th1)/Th2 balance.
