ENHANCED FC RECEPTOR-MEDIATED TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR SUPERFAMILY MRNA EXPRESSION IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD LEUKOCYTES IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
摘要
A method for predicting patient responsiveness to rheumatoid arthritis treatments involving altering expression of tumor necrosis factor superfamily ("TNFSF")-2, TNFSF-8, or TNFSF- 15 is disclosed. A method for monitoring the effectiveness of such therapy is also disclosed. Furthermore, a method of screening compounds for use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is disclosed.
