Investigators studied expression of type I interferons, key pathogenic drivers in systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis.
Auto-antibodies erroneously target their own proteins and enzymes. When these auto-antibodies target type 1 interferons, they can neutralize their function as signal proteins for the immune system.
Type 1 interferons (IFNs) play a central role in the development and disease course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In a new study, researchers explored SLE disease activity and type I ...
LONDON, United Kingdom — After years of clinical trial failures, an anti-interferon antibody, anifrolumab, has been shown to dramatically reduce disease activity in extrarenal systemic lupus ...
