Association Between Neopterin Production and other Parameters in a Population of Blood Donors
Neopterin is released from human monocyte-derived macrophages preferentially upon stimulation with the Thlcell cytokine interferon-γ. In humans, increased concentrations of neopterin in serum and urine have been found in viral infections including human ...

Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non‐invasive imaging tool that can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of juvenile myositis. Branched nailfold capillary morphology is more common in juvenile myositis patients, particularly those positive for TIF1γ+ autoantibodies. Juvenile myositis patients with more active disease demonstrate increased microhaemorrhages,

Increased urinary concentrations of neopterin, an indicator of systemic immune activation, have been reported only in a minority of patients with breast cancer. We determined urinary neopterin by high-performance liquid chromatography in 78 patients with

Movement Disorders in Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome and Response to Immunomodulation
ABSTRACT This study characterizes movement disorders and treatment responses in seven children with Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively evaluated motor phenotypes, neuroimaging, and interferon signatures in patients treated with baricitinib or anifrolumab. Spasticity affected all patients, while dystonia was present in 4/7.

Comparison between plasma neopterin and the urine neopterin : creatinine ratio as inflammatory biomarkers [PDF]
: Background: Neopterin, a product of cell-mediated immunity, is a non-specific biomarker of inflammation. Plasma/serum is generally the body fluid of choice for neopterin assessment, but urine is often used as it does away with venepuncture. Analysis of

Effect of Neopterin on the Hematopoietic System
Neopterin is produced by monocytes and is a useful biomarker for inflammation. We recently found that neopterin is biologically active against hematopoiesis during inflammatory processes.

Targeted Interventions in HAM/TSP: Emerging Therapies and Future Directions – A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Human T‐Lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) infection can lead to HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a debilitating chronic neurological disease characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity and autonomic dysfunction.

Urinary Neopterin in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Foot Ulcers
Increased urinary or serum concentrations of neopterin have been reported in disorders associated with systemic immune activation, e.g. viral infections, cancer, or autoimmune diseases, but the data on neopterin concentrations in patients with diabetes ...

Neopterin--its clinical use in urinalysis
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.
