Imaging and serum analysis of immune complex formation of radiolabelled infliximab and anti-infliximab in responders and non-responders to therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) is a marker of activation of vascular endothelium. OBJECTIVE:To examine serum levels of sE-selectin in a cohort of 85 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) followed up for five years.
