abstract：:Increased serum cytokine levels have been reported in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease, but less is known about their levels in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). It is not known whether GO is a cell-mediated or humoral autoimmune disease. We investigated whether serum cytokines are elevated in GO pati...
