Pre-pro-B cell growth-stimulating factor (PPBSF) is a heterodimer of IL-7 and a 30-kDa
cofactor. Unlike monomeric IL-7, PPBSF selectively induces proliferation and differentiation …

The role of a macrophage galactose-type calcium-type lectin-1 (MGL1) in antigen-
independent granulation tissue formation was investigated. Granulation tissue was induced …

We investigated the effect of inflammatory cytokines on the intercellular adhesion molecule‐
1 expression on primary cultured murine hepatocytes. Tumor necrosis factor‐α, interferon‐γ …

Background: Cirrhotic patients have been reported to have leukocyte impaired function as
well as a high incidence of infectious diseases. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating …

Under endotoxin-free conditions, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and purified
monocytes isolated from healthy control subjects and patients with alcoholic cirrhosis …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is
specific for the granulocytic cell line, although receptors for this cytokine have been found in …

The leucocyte adhesion molecule‐1 (LAM‐1) is the human homologue of the murine
peripheral lymph node homing receptor, MEL‐14, and might play a crucial role in neutrophil …

The effect in vivo of G‐CSF on neutrophil and eosinophil adhesion was studied after
subcutaneous administration to six healthy individuals of human recombinant glycosylated …

We previously identified a receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSFR) on
platelet membranes, and reported that G-CSF enhanced ADP-induced platelet aggregation …

The factors that regulate the adherence of granulocytes to the endothelium under normal
conditions, and in states of inflammatory vascular injury, are largely unknown. We found that …
