Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the expression regulation of two inducible HSP70 genes - HSPA1A and HSPA1B - located within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in patients with various systemic autoimmune diseases and to prove the reliability of MHC-located HSP70 genes as molecular markers reflecting the autoimmune process. METHODS: 94 adult patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM, n=31), systemic lupus...
