Differential expression of HLA class II genes associated with disease susceptibility and progression in rheumatoid arthritis
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated HLA class II genes are assumed to promote susceptibility to and/or progression of the disease. Among the various modes of action proposed so far is the effect of the differential expression of HLA class II genes in different types of antigen-presenting cells on the Th1/Th2 balance. The aim of this study was to investigate the differential expression of genes encoded...
