Role of macrophage-derived factors in generation of cytotoxic and antibody responses.

abstract：:The tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) promoter -308 A/G polymorphism plays an important role in the aetiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Several studies have estimated the association between TNF-α -308 A/G and SLE risk. However, results were inconsistent. A case-control study was carried out to explore the...
