Infection of human endothelium in vitro by cytomegalovirus causes enhanced expression of purinergic receptors: a potential virus escape mechanism?

abstract：:Until recently, islet allotransplantation for type 1 diabetic patients has been largely unsuccessful. Previous pharmacologic studies of single drugs have suggested that one factor contributing to this poor success is toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs on transplanted islets. However, no comprehensive study of agents ...
