Figure 10From: 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. 24 hours of pre-incubation with the anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in a concentration of 1 mM also resulted in an attenuation of the pneumolysin-induced neuronal injury in G93A-SOD1 (p < 0.0001), but not in Wt-SOD1 neuroblastoma cells.Back to article page
