Th-17 cells and serum IL-17 in rheumatoid arthritis patients: Correlation with disease activity and severity

serum levels of il-17, il-4, and infî³ in serbian patients with early rheumatoid arthritis

background: rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease with autoimmune etiology, characterized by synovial inflammation and destruction of joint cartilage and bone. there are controversial data about the profile of interleukin-17 (il-17a), interleukin-4 (il-4), and interferon-gamma (infî³), indicating in some studies the key role of il-17, while in others the th1 cyt...

TH-17 cells in rheumatoid arthritis

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to quantify the number of T-helper (TH)-17 cells present in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fluid (SF) and to determine the level of interleukin (IL)-17 cytokine in RA, osteoarthritis (OA) and normal synovial tissue, as well as to examine SF macrophages for the presence of IL-23, IL-27 and interferon (IFN)-gamma. METHODS Peripheral blood (PB) mononucl...

Correlation between Serum Levels of Calprotectin with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Background and Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease defined by chronic synovitis and progressive joint destruction. This study investigated calprotectin as a serological marker in the hope of establishing an adequate means of diagnosing RA and following up on patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 RA patients who were referred to the rh...

Serum levels of IL-17, IL-4, and INFγ in Serbian patients with early rheumatoid arthritis

BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease with autoimmune etiology, characterized by synovial inflammation and destruction of joint cartilage and bone. There are controversial data about the profile of interleukin-17 (IL-17A), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interferon-gamma (INFγ), indicating in some studies the key role of IL-17, while in others the Th1 cytok...
