The effects of recombinant gamma-interferon (rec gamma-IFN) on collagen production by confluent monolayer cultures of progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) dermal fibroblasts were studied. Five cell lines obtained from patients with rapidly progressive disease of recent onset were examined. All PSS f

## Abstract Procollagen processing by procollagen Cβproteinase (PCP) is an important step in collagen deposition. This reaction is stimulated by another glycoprotein, known as PCP enhancer. The objective of this study was to identify factors that regulate the expression of PCP enhancer in cardiac f
