Abstract excerpt
TSG-14/PTX3 is a gene inducible by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, and lipopolysaccharide in fibroblasts, macrophages, and endothelial cells. It encodes a 42-kd secreted glycoprotein that belongs to the pentraxin family of acute-phase proteins. Recently, we demonstrated that TSG-14 transgenic mice (TSG-14tg) overexpressing the murine TSG-14 gene under control of its own promoter are more...
