Up regulated complement and fc receptors in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and correlation with disease phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The progress in identifying immunological mechanisms in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has partly been hampered by the fact that the disease is heterogeneous. Here we have investigated complement and Fc receptors, as part of the inflammatory process, in two subgroups of JIA.
