Millonig,G.; Niederegger,H.; Rabl,W.; Hochleitner,B.W.; Hoefer,D.; Romani,N.; Wick,G.; In earlier studies, our group has established a new “immunological” hypothesis for atherogenesis supported by experimental and clinical studies showing that inflammatory immunological reactions against heat shock protein 60 initiate the development of atherosclerosis. In the present study, we describe the discovery of a so-far-unknown network of dendritic cells in the innermost layer of arteries, the intima, but not veins of healthy humans and rabbits.

Steinlechner,M.; Berger,B.; Scheithauer,R.; Parson,W.; A population study on the ten short tandem repeat (STR) loci D3S1358, VWA, D16S539, D2S1338, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, TH01 and FGA was performed on 204 unrelated Austrian Caucasians. The DNA was amplified by multiplex PCR using the AmpF/STR SGM plus kit. All loci met Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The combined power of exclusion for the ten STR loci was 0.999976. The results show that these loci are very useful for forensic purposes [Read More]
