Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of transfusion-associated morbidity and mortality; however, only 0.4 to 12% of the blood products obtained from seropositive blood donors transmit...

Detection of hepatitis C virus by PCR in second-generation enzyme immunoassay-seropositive blood donors by using matched pairs of fresh frozen plasma and pilot tube sera.

Krajden, M, Zhao, J, Bourke, C, Scalia, V, Gill, P, Lau, W

Between April 1993 and March 1995, 429 of 334,454 (0.13%) blood donations at the Toronto Centre of the Canadian Red Cross were reactive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) by second-generation enzyme...

A chemotactic S100 peptide enhances scavenger receptor and Mac-1 expression and cholesteryl ester accumulation in murine peritoneal macrophages in vivo.

Lau, W, Devery, J M, Geczy, C L

In the early development of atherosclerotic plaque, monocytes are recruited to the arterial intima where they accumulate lipid and become foam cells. The recently described murine chemotactic S100...
