Prevalence of interferon type I signature in CD14 monocytes of patients with Sjögren's syndrome and association with disease activity and BAFF gene expression
27 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of upregulation of interferon (IFN) type I inducible genes, the so called 'IFN type I signature', in CD14 monocytes in 69 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and 44 healthy controls (HC) and correlate it with disease manifestations and expression of B cell activating factor (BAFF). METHODS: Expression of IFI44L, IFI44, IFIT3, LY6E and MX1 was measured using real...
