AB0033 The identification of IL-17A+, IL-17RA+ and IL-17RC+ lymphoid and myeloid cells in blood of treatment naÏve early and in synovial fluid of established psoriatic arthritis patients
Abstract:BackgroundInterleukin (IL)-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and is involved in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (1,2). Various cells can produce IL-17A. However, it is not clear which cell types in PsA patients are responsible for the production of IL-17A. In addition, the expression of IL-17RA and IL-17RC on different cell types is not well defined.ObjectivesTo identify IL-17A, IL-17RA and IL-17RC positive cells in blood of first diagnosed PsA patients with arthritis and in synovial fluid of es… Show more
