Interleukin-22 Polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum-Infected Malaria Patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We have previously reported a continuous activation of caspase-1 and increased interleukin (IL)-1β levels in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These observations raised the hypothesis that drugs targeting the IL-1β pathway, in addition to tumour necrosis factor (TNF), may be particularly effective for early R...
