Behçet's disease is a complex vasculitis of unknown etiology. Abundant neutrophils suggest the involvement of innate immunity. Cytokines are skewed to the T-helper-1 pattern. Few sterile organs are easily accessible for analysis in Behçet's disease. Cañete and coworkers identify inflamed joints as a feasible model and suggest the involvement of innate immunity in Behçet's disease.
白塞病是一种病因不明的复杂血管炎。大量中性粒细胞提示固有免疫参与其中。细胞因子倾向于T辅助细胞1型模式。在白塞病中,很少有无菌器官便于进行分析。卡涅特及其同事将发炎的关节确定为一个可行的模型,并提示固有免疫参与了白塞病的发病过程。
