Increased circulating interleukin-12 (IL-12) p40 in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

abstract：:Data from a previous study suggested that peripheral blood monocytes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be activated. Therefore, in this study we sought further evidence of 'presynovial' activation of monocytes. Our results show that phenotypic changes are demonstrable in peripheral blood monocytes in pati...
