Moreover, currently, inflammation is being implicated as a driving force in the diabetic atherothromboembolic process. Increased concentrations of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, platelet-derived soluble CD40 ligand, and upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules have been noted in blood samples of diabetic patients (7-10), and are a subject of great interest.

This full-size immunoglobulin G recognizes an epithelial cellular-adhesion molecule (EpCAM) present in colorectal cancer and other solid-tumor cancers. Serum antibodies such as immunoglobulin G are tet-rameric glycoproteins composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. Antibodies are designed to...

Time course analysis of gene expression levels using QRT-PCR in the acute phase of the penetrating ballistic brain injury between 3 and 6 h indicates an upregulation in the expression of cytokines TNF-a (eightfold to 11-fold), IL-ip (11-fold to 13-fold), and IL-6 (40-fold to 74-fold) as well as the cellular adhesion molecules VCAM (twofold to threefold), ICAM-1 (sevenfold to 15-fold), and E-selectin (11 -fold to 13-fold). These processes are consistent with the upregulation...

Recent results have established that chemokines have a critical role in immunoregulation and inflammatory-cell activation using multiple mechanisms. Chemokine expression on the endothelial surface can stimulate the activation of cellular adhesion molecules on circulating leukocytes, and in so doing it can regulate leukocyte trafficking to the site of inflammation (Campbell et al, 1996). Selective chemokine expression directs the preferential recruitment of specific leukocyte populations that express the...
