Various tissues from vertebrates and invertebrates respond to external signal molecules by rapid release of nitric oxide (NO) mediated by constitutive nitric oxide synthase. Invertebrate immunocytes were collected from maintained stock and human granulocytes were isolated from leukocyte-enriched blo...
