Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether genetic variation in the interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene cluster contributes to familial osteoarthritis (OA) by influencing innate ex vivo production of IL-1beta or IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). METHODS: Innate ex vivo IL-1beta and IL-1Ra production upon lipopolysaccha...
