1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CHI3L1 (YKL-40) is up-regulated in a variety of inflammatory conditions and cancers. We have previously reported elevated CHI3L1 concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of human and non-human primates with lentiviral encephalitis and using immunohistochemistry showed that CHI3L1 was associated with astrocytes. METHODS: In the current study CHI3L1 transcription and expression were evaluated in a...
