... the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are dissociated. The three murine models to be discussed each show BiP induced long-term therapeutic protection and therefore has potential for long-lasting drug-free therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 1 Gabriel Panayi and Valerie Corrigall have shares in a non...

... that there was a significant, but weak, relationship with age. Interestingly, patients with rheumatoid arthritis and cancer have been described by others to secrete or express greater surface Trx-1 than predicted. It is interesting to speculate whether a decline in Trx-1 during ageing protects against such conditions...

...K.A. Reedquist; J. Ludikhuize; P.P. Tak Although the mechanisms leading to the induction of RA (rheumatoid arthritis) are poorly understood, improper activation, proliferation, survival and retention of neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and other leucocytes contribute to perpetuation...

... subjects with MBL deficiency remain healthy. MBL deficiency is also associated with non-infectious diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis and common variable immunodeficiency. MBL deficiency may affect susceptibility to (e.g. meningococcal disease), or alter...
