Surface Expression of Fractalkine Receptor (CX3CR1) on CD4+/CD28? T Cells in RA Patients and Correlation with Atherosclerotic Damage
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Fractalkine, a CX3C/chemokine (CX3CL1), mediates monocytesmacrophage infiltration in activated endothelium, suggesting its specific role in atherosclerosis-related inflammation. In this study, we evaluate the following in early RA patient
