29 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) exhibits an aggressive clinical phenotype and severe complications commonly renal involvement. This could be reflective of the ongoing chronic pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu. We examined relative gene expression of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and serum levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and IL-23 and their association with...
