TCR zeta chain lacking exon 7 in two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
To address the molecular mechanism underlying the functional defects of peripheral T cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we focused on early signaling events. We demonstrated that protein expression of the TCR zeta chain was significantly decreased in peripheral T cells from patients with SLE compared to normal controls and patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Among those patients showing decreased...
