Bcl-x(L) expression in vivo in rheumatoid synovium (2006)

Busteed, S., Bennett, M. W., Molloy, C., Houston, A., Stone, M. A., Shanahan, F., ...

To examine the expression of the apoptosis regulatory protein, Bcl-x(L), in the synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Immunohistochemistry for Bcl-x(L) was...

Interleukin 1 and nuclear factor-kappa B polymorphisms in ankylosing spondylitis in Canada and Korea (2005)

Kim, T. H., Stone, M. A., Rahman, P., Yoo, D. H., Park, Y. W., Payne, U., ...

Objective. The interleukin 1 alpha and 1 beta (IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta) are potent mediators of inflammation and immunity. IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is a protein that binds to IL-1 receptors...

Comparative immune responses to candidate arthritogenic bacteria do not confirm a dominant role for Klebsiella pneumonia in the pathogenesis of familial ankylosing spondylitis (2004)

Stone, M. A., Payne, U., Schentag, C., Rahman, P., Pacheco-Tena, C., Inman, R. D.

Objective. Using humoral immune responses, Klebsiella pneumoniae has been implicated as a candidate microbial trigger in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by several investigators but refuted by others....

Cytokine correlates of clinical response patterns to infliximab treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (2004)

Stone, M. A., Payne, U., Pacheco-Tena, C., Inman, R. D.

Objective: To identify clinical and immunological markers of response to treatment with infliximab in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: Baseline and sequential cytokine levels (IL1, TNFalpha,...
