Female resistance to pneumonia identifies lung macrophage nitric oxide synthase-3 as a therapeutic target

To identify new approaches to enhance innate immunity to bacterial pneumonia, we investigated the natural experiment of gender differences in resistance to infections. Female and estrogen-treated male mice show greater resistance to pneumococcal pneumonia, seen as greater bacterial clearance, dimini...
