In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
متن کاملFractalkine: one chemokine, many functions.
purification quality of CLP is important, especially for analyses of T-cell development. The original phenotypic CLP has recently been refined by addition of positivity for Flk25 and now a smaller population of cells including CD27 are shown to contain the T-cell potential. A specific criticism of the CLP as the thymus-seeding cell has been the lack of evidence that CLP can be detected in thymu...
متن کاملANTINEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC AUTOANTIBODI ES IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) were detected in patients with autoimmune and vascular diseases such as Wegener's granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa and systemic lupus erythematosus. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique was employed to detect these autoantibodies. By this method, two general patterns of ANCA were seen: a cytoplasmic (cANCA) and a perinuclear form ...
