Developments in the scientific and clinical understanding of autoinflammatory disorders.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L)/CD135 axis plays a fundamental role in proliferation and differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs). As DCs play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) immunopathology we studied in detail the Flt3L/CD135 axis in RA patients. METHODS:The levels of Flt...
