Abstract excerpt
This study was undertaken to evaluate the gene expression profile in monocytes from three patients with reactive arthritis (ReA) in remission in order to identify candidate genes accounting for a potential susceptibility to ReA. Gene expression analyses revealed eight differentially expressed mRNA transcripts in monocytes of ReA patients. The major part of genes encoded cytokines, growth factors and chemokines....
