RAW267.4 macrophages were infected with wild-type S. typhimurium at an MOI of 10. Noninternalized bacteria were removed by washing followed by killing with gentamicin. After infection L-NMMA was added as indicated and 8 h after infection, nitrite levels in the culture supernatant were assayed by the Griess reaction.
