Ito cells are the primary matrix-producing cells in the liver. In hepatic fibrosis in uiuo or culture on plastic, these cells undergo activation, a process characterized by cell proliferation, fibrogenesis, and smooth muscle a- actin expression. The cytosolic-binding proteins of cyclosporin A (CsA)
## Abstract The effects of the immunosuppressants cyclosporin A (CsA), FK506 and rapamycin have been compared using murine B cells activated with a variety of mitogens. FK506 is a macrolide antibiotic that has been recently shown to inhibit T cell activation by a mechanism that appears similar to t
