Low secretion of tumor necrosis factor α, but no other Th1 or Th2 cytokines, by peripheral blood mononuclear cells correlates with chronicity in reactive arthritis

Objective To determine Th1 and Th2 cytokine production in patients with reactive arthritis (ReA) in relation to disease outcome and in comparison with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Secretion of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interferon‐γ, interleukin‐10 (IL‐10), and IL‐4 by peripheral blood mo...
