Nikolaus Fiebiger Center for Molecular Medicine and Institute for Clinical Immunology, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany
Arthritis Rheum 52:451-60. 2005..Thus, anti-TNF treatment might lead to augmented T cell activation by myeloid cells, thereby promoting immune responses to (auto)antigens and the development of antinuclear antibodies that are frequently associated with anti-TNF therapy...
