Neopterin to Monitor Clinical Pathologies Involving Interferon-γ Production

Neopterin to Monitor Clinical Pathologies Involving Interferon-γ Production

Upon stimulation with the cytokine interferon-γ human monocytes/macrophages produce neopterin. Accordingly, measurement of neopterin concentrations in body fluids like blood, urine or cerebrospinal fluid provides information about activation of immune response involving type 1 Τ helper cells. Increa...
