'Acute phase serum amyloid A proteins (A-SAAs) are multifunctional apolipoproteins produced in large amounts during the acute phase of an inflammation and also during the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study we present a Saa1-luc transgenic mouse model in which SAA1 gene expression can be monitored by measuring ... More
