Gene expression in systemic lupus erythematosus: Bone marrow analysis differentiates active from inactive disease and reveals apoptosis and granulopoiesis signatures
30 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The cells of the immune system originate from the bone marrow, where many of them also mature. This study was undertaken to examine gene expression in the bone marrow of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in order to better understand the aberrant immune response in this disease. METHODS: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) from 20 SLE patients (11 with active disease and 9 with...
