Gene expression profiling in human autoimmunity

Abstract excerpt

Human autoimmune diseases are well suited for the application of gene expression profiling. Sampling of blood cells and target tissues has already revealed many important pathways contributing to this spectrum of disorders, and many commonalities are emerging. For instance, clinically distinct diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, dermatomyositis, and psoriasis all show evidence for...
