Increased Binding of Specificity Protein 1 to the IL21R Promoter in B Cells Results in Enhanced B Cell Responses in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

abstract：:A systemic immune related response (SIME) of radiotherapy has been occasionally observed on metastatic tumors, but the clinical outcomes remain poor. Novel treatment approaches are therefore needed to improve SIME ratio. We used a combination of hypo-fractionated radiation therapy (H-RT) with low-dose total body irrad...
