Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) antigen has been recently identified as a novel basement membrane macromolecule. It consists of a single chain of 58 kDa and exhibits a restricted distribution. The interaction between TIN antigen and... more
The myelin basic proteins are a set of peripheral membrane polypeptides which play an essential role in myelination. Their most well-documented property is the unique ability to ‘seal’ the cytoplasmic aspects of the myelin membrane, but... more
The current understanding of glioma biology reveals targets for anti-invasive therapy which include manipulations of extracellular matrix and receptors, growth factors and cytokines, proteases, cytoskeletal components, oncogenes and tumor... more
Abstract: There is strong evidence that non-immune chronic idiopathic neutropenia of adult is a cytokine-mediated syndrome characterized by (a) neutropenia of varying degree associated with a low number of lineage-specific CD34+ cells and... more
We report the clinical and serologic features of Japanese patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) displaying anti-neurofascin-155 (NF155) immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibodies. In sera from 533 patients with... more
The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of using endothelial cell (EC) lines for studies of endothelial/immune interactions. The immortal human EC lines HMEC-1, ECV304 and EaHy926 were compared to human umbilical vein... more
The junctional epithelium is located at a strategically important interface between the gingival sulcus, populated with bacteria, and the periodontal soft and mineralized connective tissues that need protection from becoming exposed to... more
Background: Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is a cell surface and circulating enzyme that belongs to the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) family, which oxidatively deaminates primary amines and is implicated in leukocyte... more
Lesions in the nervous system induce rapid activation of glial cells and under certain conditions additional recruitment of granulocytes, T-cells and monocytes/macrophages from the blood stream triggered by upregulation of cell adhesion... more
