Mechanisms of 7,8-dihydroneopterin protection of macrophages from cytotoxicity
Gamma-interferon stimulates human macrophages to produce of 7,8-dihydroneopterin (7,8-NP). 7,8-NP and its oxidation product neopterin are excellent inflammatory markers for a variety of chronic conditions, including atherosclerosis.
