Johnson Y. N. Lau – 1 September 1994 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of posttransfusion and community‐acquired hepatitis, and a majority of individuals infected with this virus will subsequently develop chronic hepatitis. Characterization of the host immune response to this infection is an important first step that should facilitate the development of immunomodulatory agents and vaccines. Cellular immune responses, especially those mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), are important in the control of many viral diseases.

Piet C. De Groen, Gail M. Kephart, Gerald J. Gleich, Jurgen Ludwig – 1 September 1994 – Objective: To evaluate the role of the eosinophil granulocyte during hepatic allograft rejection. Design: (a) A retrospective case‐control study and (b) a prospective study of consecutive liver transplant recipients. Patients: In the retrospective study, eight patients with severe rejection in the first month after liver transplantation were compared with six patients without rejection.

Marianne A. C., De Bruijn, Kam S. Mok, Tiny Out, Guido N. J. Tytgat, Albert K. Groen – 1 September 1994 – Human bile contains cholesterol crystallization—stimulating proteins that can be isolated by concanavalin A—Sepharose chromatography. In the past few years an increasing number of different pronucleating proteins have been identified in the concanavalin A—binding fraction. In this study we attempted to estimate the relative contribution of a number of these proteins to total concanavalin A—binding pronucleating activity.

Tomoyuki Kumai, Makoto Hoshino, Tomihiro Hayakawa, Katsuyoshi Higashi – 1 September 1994 – We investigated the effects of papaverine on bile acid excretion into bile in the presence of infusions of taurocholic acid, tauroursodeoxycholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid and taurodehydrocholic acid in a single‐pass, isolated perfused rat liver model.

Hermann Salmhofer, Ingrid Rainer, Kurt Zatloukal, Helmut Denk – 1 September 1994 – Alcoholic hepatitis is a disease associated with profound alterations of the hepatocytic intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Similar cytoskeletal alterations can be induced in mice with prolonged feeding of the fungistatic drug griseofulvin. Murine hepatocytic intermediate filaments are composed of equimolar amounts of keratin polypeptides A (type II) and D (type I).
