초록

Thioacetamide has been known to cause immune suppression. In this report we studied the role of metabolic activation by flavin-containing monooxygenase in the thioacetamide-induced immune response. To determine whether the metabolites of thioacetamide produced by flavin-containing monooxygenase result in the immunosuppression, methimazole, a flavin-containing monooxygenase inhibitor, was used to block the flavin-containing monooxygenase pathway.(omitted)
