Abstract excerpt
Cellular fibronectin (cFN) expression is characteristic of injured tissues. Unlike plasma FN, cFN mRNA often contains the EIIIA or EIIIB domains. We examined the lung cell-specific expression of total cFN mRNA and the EIIIA and EIIIB splice variants in rabbits after acute oxygen injury. By in sit...
