## Abstract Alveolar macrophage function was studied immunocytochemically using three monoclonal antibodies—macrophage CD 68 KP 1 (M), protein CD 11C (P), and anti‐elastin (EL)—and three polyclonal antibodies—lysozyme (LZ), alpha‐1‐antitrypsin (AAT), and alpha‐1‐antichymotrypsin (AACT). the materia

Cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 20 patients with scleroderma were shown to produce high levels of interleukin-la, interleukin-lp, and tumor necrosis factor a. There were positive correlations between the production of these 3 molecules. Purified monocytes from these patients produce
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic peptide with vascular permeability and relaxing properties. This study assessed whether peritoneal macrophages of cirrhotic patients can be up-regulated to produce VEGF under proper stimulatory conditions. Macrophages were isolated from asci
