چکیده
Methods Forty-three JSLE patients (revised ACR criteria, mean age = 14.3 yrs, 36F:7M), and 35 age and gender matched healthy controls were studied; 30 JSLE had SLEDAI score 4, reflected active disease. Soluble molecules were measured by commercial ELISA kits. Lymphocytes and monocytes were stained with specific moAbs and analyzed by flow cytometry. Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s rank were employed and statistical significance considered p value < 0.05.

متن کاملPReS-FINAL-2339: Blocking interferon alpha signaling can reduce neutrophil extracellular trap formation in juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus
Introduction A novel antimicrobial mechanism of neutrophils involves the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) into the local environment to bind pathogens. NETs are composed of chromatin, and it has been proposed that a source of autoantigens in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) could be increased NETs production. Interferon (IFN)-a is known to be a key player in the pathogenesis o...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
