Abstract
Background To determine differences in the blood innate gene expression signatures of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients across various organ manifestations and disease activity, with a focus on lupus nephritis (LN) and central nervous system (CNS) involvement.
Methods Toll-like receptor family (TLR 1–10) mRNA expression was investigated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with SLE (n = 74) and healthy...
