background bone morphogenetic protein 7 (bmp7) has been suggested to play a protective role against kidney injury in chronic kidney disease. objectives to identify the critical molecular regulators in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy, we studied the expression of bmp7 and 2 important kidney-specific markers, podocin and tamm–horsfall protein (thp). materials and methods a diabetic nephro...

cd34 is a type i membrane protein with a molecular mass of approximately 110 kda. this antigen is associated with human hematopoietic progenitor cells and is a differentiation stage-specific leukocyte antigen. in this study we have generated and characterized monoclonal antibodies (mabs) directed against a cd34 marker. mice were immunized with two keyhole lympet hemocyanin (klh)-conjugated cd34...
