Abstract
It has been shown recently that islet cell lysis induced by C. parvum-activated macrophages is mediated by NO since cell destruction can be counteracted by NO synthase inhibitors [1]. However, evidence concerning the activation state of macrophages and the effector molecules that mediate islet destruction in experimental immune diabetes is lacking.
