doi: 10.1186/s13075-018-1657-1
Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of ADAM-17 in RA serum and SFs. a ADAM-17 is higher in RA serum than OA and NL serum. b ADAM-17 expression is also higher in RA SFs than OA SFs. c The level of ADAM-17 in RA serum is correlated with disease activity. (n = number of patients). ADAM a disintegrin and metalloprotease family protein, DAS28 disease activity score 28, ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate, NL normal, OA osteoarthritis, RA rheumatoid arthritis
Article Snippet: Next day, RA, NL serum or recombinant ADAM-17, which was used as a standard biotinylated anti-human ADAM-17 antibody (R&D Systems) was added as a detection antibody, followed by streptavidin-HRP (BD Biosciences).
