It is widely believed that giving education/information to patients will increase their knowledge and compliance, which will decrease medical events and cost. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immune Complex Regulated Cytokine Production in Rheumatic and Lymphoproliferative Diseases

    Author : Linda Mathsson; Johan Rönnelid; Bo Nilsson; Ann Kari Lefvert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; Immune complex; Cytokines; Rheumatic diseases; Lymphoproliferative diseases; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Immune complexes (ICs) are produced during normal immune responses and facilitate clearance of foreign antigens. ICs not efficiently cleared from the circulation can cause tissue damage. This might happen if ICs are formed with autoantibodies and autoantigens. READ MORE
