Abstract
The hyaluronan (HA) receptor CD44 is upregulated on parenchymal cells in various inflammatory lesions and could play a role in immune injury. The purpose of the present study was to examine CD44 and its ligands HA and osteopontin (Opn) in a murine model of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN).Keywords
