## Abstract Sera from patients with liver disease, showing positive reactions with human Fraction II (FβII) were submitted to cation exchange chromatography. Rheumatoid factorβlike material, reacting only with FβII and FβII sensitized systems, was eluted at pH 6.0 and pH 7.0. In rheumatoid sera, ac
Fatty liver, formerly associated predominantly with excessive alcohol intake, is now also recognized as a complication of obesity and an important precursor state to more severe forms of liver pathology including ischemia/reperfusion injury. No standard protocol for treating fatty liver exists at th
Fibroproliferation was measured as the uptake of t3Hlthymidine into fibroblasts. Human fibroblasts were incubated with 200 p1 monocyte-conditioned medium, the 0.22 pm filtrate from cultured monocytes, in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium supplemented with controlled process serum replacement 2, a fet
Transforming growth factor-$, was localized by means of immunohistochemical reaction in liver biopsy specimens taken from patients having different chronic liver diseases with extending fibrosis. Two polyclonal antibodies that were produced in rabbits were directed against the amino terminal of tran
