Özet
Human monocytes/macrophages produce neopterin when stim-ulated by the cytokine interferon-γ. The concentration of neopter-in in body fluids such as serum, cerebrospinal fluid and urine can be measured and increased concentrations of neopterin provides information about infections states. Nowadays, neopterin is as a marker in neurological and cardiovascular diseases during cellular immune activation.
