Levels of sTNFR、 TNF? in Serum and PBMC Culture Medium Supernatants of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus / 中华皮肤科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR)、 tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF? ) in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients and its clinical significance. Methods Double antibody sandwich ELISA was used to determine soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor typeⅠ (sTNFRⅠ )、 soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor typeⅡ (sTNFRⅡ ) and TNF? levels in patient serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) culture supernatants. Other immunological tests were carried out simultaneously. Results① The serum sTNFRⅠ、 sTNFRⅡ、 TNF? sTNFRⅠ /TNF? and sTNFRⅡ /TNF? ratios were significantly higher in SLE patients than those in normal control group(P
