The dendritic cell (DC) system of antigen‐presenting cells controls immunity and tolerance.
DCs initiate and regulate immune responses in a manner that depends on signals they …

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are key regulators of antiviral immunity. They rapidly
secrete IFN-α and cross-present viral Ags, thereby launching adaptive immunity. In this study, …

Immunity results from a complex interplay between the antigen‐non‐specific innate immune
system and the antigen‐specific adaptive immune system. The cells and molecules of the …

Objective Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear
hormone receptor superfamily and functions as a key regulator of lipid and glucose …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptors in inflammatory arthritis,
we investigated the expression of BLT1 and BLT2 mRNA in synovial tissues of patients …

OBJECTIVE: Autoantibodies against signal recognition particle (SRP) are detected in patients
with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). The SRP consists of 7SL RNA and 6 protein …

ABSTRACT Effects of bacterial pathogens on the production of macrophage inflammatory
protein 3α (MIP-3α) and MIP-3β from human peripheral blood neutrophils were investigated. …

A 29-year-old man and a 36-year-old man developed attacks of acute neuro-Behçet’s disease
(NB) (right Horner’s syndrome and right hemiplegia and dysarthria, respectively) during …

Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of small vessels characterized by
purpura, arthralgias, glomerulonephritis and gastrointestinal involvements which can cause …

In experimental rheumatology, transcriptomics is one of the most important methods for
investigating the pathogenesis of diseases. The biological material of most studies on …
