Serum heat shock protein 47 levels are elevated in acute interstitial pneumonia [PDF]
Background: Heat shock protein (HSP) 47, a collagen-specific molecular chaperone, is involved in the processing and/or secretion of procollagen. We hypothesized that HSP47 could be a useful marker for fibrotic lung disease.

Prion protein in the cerebrospinal fluid of healthy and naturally scrapie-affected sheep [PDF]
The aim of this study was to characterize the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) prion protein (PrP) of healthy and naturally scrapie-affected sheep. The soluble form of CSF PrPC immunoblotted with an anti-octarepeat and an anti-C terminus mAb showed two isoforms

In vivo application of recombinant interleukin 2 in the immunotherapy of established cytomegalovirus infection [PDF]
We have shown in a murine model system for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in the immunocompromised host that in vivo application of recombinant human IL-2 (rhIL-2) can enhance the antiviral effect of a limited number of CD8+T lymphocytes, not only in ...
