Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Expression of an Independent, Non-neuronal Cholinergic System in Lymphocytes and Its Clinical Significance in Immunotherapy

Lymphocytes possess all the components required to constitute an independent, non-neuronal cholinergic system. These include acetylcholine (ACh); choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), its synthesizing enzyme; and both muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors (mAChRs and nAChRs, respectively). ACh modifies...
