Figure 9From: Expression of a Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase typical for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis increases the vulnerability of neuroblastoma cells to infectious injury Radical scavenging by N-acetyl-cysteine. The pneumolysin-induced neuronal injury in G93A-SOD1 neuroblastoma cells, but not in Wt-SOD1 cells, was attenuated by pre-incubation for 72 hours with the anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in a concentration of 1 mM (p < 0.001).Back to article page
