Sammanfattning : Environmental factors are likely contributing factors in the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease, for which etiologic factors are still poorly known. Mineral oils are efficient adjuvants which increase immunological responses and are used in animal immunization and for induction of different experimental autoimmune diseases including arthritis.

14. Co-stimulatory molecules : genes to protein in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders
Sammanfattning : Co‐stimulatory molecules are antigen‐independent generators of secondary signals which aid in maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system. The most extensively studied co‐stimulatory pathway is CD28/CTLA‐4, expressed on the T cells, interacting with CD80/CD86, expressed on the antigen presenting cells (APC). LÄS MER
