IL-2-mediated upregulation of uPA and uPAR in natural killer cells.

abstract：:Restenosis after angioplasty is thought to be caused by proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and it is a most serious problem in medical treatment. A low dose (50 ng/ml) of manumycin A, an inhibitor of p21(ras) (ras) farnesylation, significantly inhibited proliferation of rat VSMCs stim...
