Research Article: The susceptibility of single nucleotide polymorphisms located within co-stimulatory pathways to systemic lupus erythematosus
Abstract:
Introduction: Autoimmune diseases result from the loss of immune tolerance, and they exhibit complex pathogenic mechanisms that remain challenging to effectively treat. It has been reported that the altered expression levels of co-stimulatory/inhibitory molecules will affect the level of T/B cell activation and lead to the loss of immune tolerance.
