## Abstract Previously, we showed that gene expression of the rheumatoid arthritisβrelated antigen RAβA47, which is identical to human heat shock protein (HSP)47, was downregulated in chondrocytes by inflammatory cytokines such as TNFΞ±. Associated with this phenomenon, RAβA47 appeared on the cell s
The DC-1 antigen has been isolated from the JY cell line (DR4, w6). The amino terminal sequences of its e and/3 chains are both reported and are homologous to the murine I-A antigens. The JY and previously reported LB DC-1 e chain sequences appear to be variants of the DC e chains reported by other
