IL-40 levels in treatment-naïve and methotrexate-treated rheumatoid arthritis patients
This study demonstrates that IL-40 levels are elevated in RA patients and highlights its potential role in RA. The fact that IL-40 levels did not change despite the antiinflammatory effects of MTX suggests that IL-40 is involved in immunological pathways that are less responsive to treatment.
