Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by the aberrant activation of T lymphocytes. Since T-bet and GATA-3 are the principal transcription factors for the differentiation of type-1 and type-2 helper T lymphocytes, respectively, we studied their mRNA expression in the urinary sediment of SLE patients and compared this with their urinary and intra-renal protein expression. METHODS: We...
