PROTEIN LEVELS AND AUTOANTIBODIES AGAINST LL37 AND IFI16 NUCLEIC ACID SENSORS IN PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS

The etiopathogenesis of psoriatic disease, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), is still unclear, but recently it has been clarified why self-DNA become immunogenic in psoriatic disease, suggesting an important role of nucleic acid sensors such as LL37 and IFI16, in psoriatic disease. We aimed at investigating humoral and cellular response to LL37 and IFI16 in PsA.
