Compartmentalized regulation of macrophage arachidonic acid metabolism

PMCID: PMC2188049  PMID: 3081677

Abstract

We show that downregulation of arachidonic acid (20:4) metabolism which occurs following i.p. injection of C. parvum can occur in a single, localized macrophage population, and is therefore unlikely to be mediated solely by a systemic factor.
