Neopterin in AIDs, other immunodeficiencies, and bacterial and viral infections

, 1986
An increase in total urinary neopterin was observed in 12 of 13 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), seven of 13 patients with lymphadenopathy, one of six healthy homosexual males, seven of ten adult patients with staphylococcal ...

Neopterin--its clinical use in urinalysis

, 1994
Increased amounts of neopterin are released during cellular immune response. Neopterin concentrations can be monitored in serum and urine of patients since neopterin is removed from the circulation by renal excretion.

Neopterin-induced Suppression of Erythropoietin Production In Vitro

Pteridines, 1995
The production of neopterin increases in several diseases with activation of the ceIlular immune response. As previously shown serum concentrations of neopterin are inversely correlated with blood hemoglobin concentrations in the anemia of hematological ...

Cytokine induction of neopterin production

, 1991
SUMMARY The pteridine neopterin is a marker of immunological activation and has been shown to be a useful marker of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in bone marrow transplant patients.

The role of neopterin in cross-talk between tumor and tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma

Pteridines
Neopterin is a marker of activated immune response, but its role in hepatocarcinogenesis is unknown. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of neopterin on prooncogenic/proinflammatory, apoptotic pathways, and other molecular mechanisms in HCC ...

Salivary neopterin concentrations in patients with cancer of the oral cavity

Pteridines, 2016
Tumors of the oral cavity are relatively common malignancies with a poor prognosis. Use of both prognostic and predictive biomarkers in saliva represents one approach to improve the management of patients with these cancers.

Role of neopterin on inflammasome activation in the nervous system

, 2017
The inflammasome is a protein complex responsible for the maturation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18. It represents a key event in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases which can be triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Short Report:Serum Levels of Neopterin during Antimicrobial Treatment for Mycobacterium ulcerans Infection

, 2013
Neopterin is closely associated with activation of the cellular immune system. Neopterin levels differed between controls and patients with Buruli ulcer disease.

Clinical significance of increased serum neopterin in chronic kidney failure as a biomarker of cell-mediated immunity [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2019
Background: Neopterin is a pyrazino-pyrimidine compound which is used as a marker of cell-mediated immunity in a variety of diseases. It is known that neopterin levels increase in diseases where interferon-gamma (IFN-g) stimulation is present, and also ...
