Background Rapamycin, an immunosuppressive and antiproliferative drug, is used to
prevent neointima formation to reduce the risk of in-stent restenosis with rapamycin eluting-

We examined the effect of rapamycin on the growth of C. pneumoniae in cell cultures.
Methods HL cell monolayers were inoculated with C. pneumoniae CWL029 or C …
