Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF-2) is a potent angiogenic factor and endothelial
cell mitogen. Although bFGF levels are increased in chronically inflamed tissue, its role in …

A wide range of lineage-specific Ag are detectable in the human lymphoid system using
mAb, but only a few such markers are detectable in animal species. In this paper, we have …

Thrombosis and inflammation are closely related. However, the response of the vein wall to
venous thrombosis has been poorly documented. This study examines the hypothesis that …

Although leukocytes adhere in arteries in various vascular diseases, to date no endogenous
proinflammatory molecule has been identified to initiate leukocyte adhesion in the arterial …

Activated neutrophils appear to be directly involved in tissue injury after focal cerebral
ischemia and reperfusion. Intercellular adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-1) and CD11/CD18 …

The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the time course of neutrophil adhesion to
monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that were exposed to 60 …

To elucidate the mechanism (s) of myocardial reperfusion injury, we investigated the roles of
cell adhesion molecules on both leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells in the reperfused …

The involvement of adhesion molecules in the glomerular accumulation of inflammatory
cells and subsequent glomerular injury was examined in WKY rats with nephrotoxic serum …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are
produced at sites of inflammation. Previously, we demonstrated that bFGF enhances …

Central nervous system (CNS)-resident macrophages (microglia) normally express
negligible or low level MHC class II, but this is up-regulated in graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) …
