Chlamydia pneumoniae induces macrophage-derived foam cell formation via PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma-dependent pathways.

abstract：:The protein encoded by the proto-oncogene c-fos is constitutively nuclear in most cell types analyzed. It has a predicted molecular weight of about 55 kDa. Proteins with a molecular weight above 40 kDa cannot enter the nucleus passively. Our interest was to study which regions in the protein are involved in the nuclea...
