title: Regulation of lymphocyte functions by nitric oxide.
abstract: Current interest in nitric oxide is derived from its numerous biological roles. Immunologically, apart from the well known role of nitric oxide in anti-microbial and autoimmune diseases, nitric oxide is now emerging as a potential powerful mediator of T-cell responses. Evidence now shows that nitric oxide can both enhance and suppress T-cell functions and that some subsets of T-cell clones can be activated to produce nitric oxide.
