(BMC cancer, 2007-01)
BACKGROUND: The nucleotide excision repair (NER) protein, xeroderma pigmentosum C
(XPC), participates in recognizing DNA lesions and initiating DNA repair in response
to DNA damage. Because mutations in XPC cause a high ...
Plasma antibodies against heat shock protein 70 correlate with the incidence and severity of asthma in a Chinese population.
(Respiratory research, 2005-01)
BACKGROUND: The heat shock proteins (Hsps) are induced by stresses such as allergic
