Innate immunity and primary biliary cirrhosis: Activated invariant natural killer T cells exacerbate murine autoimmune cholangitis and fibrosis
Si‐Jie Wu, Yao‐Hsu Yang, Koichi Tsuneyama, Patrick S.C. Leung, Petr Illarionov, M. Eric Gershwin, Ya‐Hui Chuang – 14 December 2010 – Murine models of autoimmunity allow the study of the earliest events in disease pathogenesis.
Hepatitis C virus receptors claudin‐1 and occludin after liver transplantation and influence on early viral kinetics
Laura Mensa, Gonzalo Crespo, Matthew J. Gastinger, Juraj Kabat, Sofía Pérez‐del‐Pulgar, Rosa Miquel, Suzanne U. Emerson, Robert H. Purcell, Xavier Forns – 14 December 2010 – Liver transplantation (LT) is a unique model to study hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatocytes. Recent in vitro studies suggest significant changes in the expression of the HCV receptors claudin‐1 and occludin after HCV infection.
