Cell surface expression of fibroblast activation protein (FAP)

Copyright information:Taken from "Fibroblast activation protein is expressed by rheumatoid myofibroblast-like synoviocytes"Arthritis Research & Therapy 2006;8(6):R171-R171.Published online 14 Nov 2006PMCID:PMC1794515. Gene expression analysis is completed by immunohistochemical staining. FAP-specific staining was performed on synovial samples of five individuals of each entity (rheumatoid arthritis [RA] and osteoarthritis [OA]), demonstrating the stronger expression at the protein level in the inflamed synovia of patients with refractory RA.
