Advances in Autoantibodies against C-reactive Protein in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)is a chronic autoimmune disease that involves multiple organs and tissues.Its pathogenic mechanism remains unclear.Impaired inflammatory response and reduced clearance of immune cells are key events in the development of SLE,during which the pentraxin family plays an important role.This article summarizes recent advances in the relationship between anti-C-reactive protein autoantibody and SLE.
