In vivo and in vitro apoptosis of human thymocytes are associated with nitrotyrosine formation
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Most thymocytes are deleted by thymic selection. The mechanisms of cell death are far from being clear. Peroxynitrite is a powerful oxidant produced in vivo by the reaction of superoxide (O2*-) with nitric oxide (NO*) and is able to mediate apoptosis. The aim of this study was to analyze whether NO and peroxynitrite could play a role in human thymocyte apoptosis. The results indicate that...
