Article Synopsis
- The study explores how a mouse model for sepsis makes it harder for the immune system to fight off a lung infection caused by a bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- Researchers found that certain immune cells called CD11b(+) NK cells aren't producing enough of a protective substance called IFN-γ after the sepsis model, partly because of issues with other immune cells called accessory cells.
- The findings suggest that the problem with NK cells and accessory cells working together could explain why mice get sick more easily from this bacteria after sepsis.
We describe a simple laboratory method for specific labeling of nitrite with ¹⁸O for use in chemical and biochemical studies in the area of nitric oxide research. NaNO₂ (0.1 mmol) is diluted in H₂¹⁸O (45 μl) and acidified with HCl (1 μl, 5 M), and the solution is allowed to equilibrate.
