    ..These therapies might also change the long-term outcome of this disease. However, controlled trials set up in international collaboration are needed to determine the optimal treatment strategies for all sJIA patients...

    Rheumatology (Oxford) 49:441-9. 2010
    ..Interestingly, SoJIA patients display decreased levels of perforin in NK cells and diminished NK cell function as well. Here, we analysed PRF1 and its putative promoter in SoJIA patients with or without a history of MAS...

    Department of Pediatrics, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Immunology, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Arthritis Rheum 60:2782-93. 2009
    ..Since IL-18 can drive NK cell function, we examined how the high plasma levels of this cytokine are related to the documented NK cell failure in these patients...

    Department of Pediatric Immunology, Wilhelmina Children s Hospital, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
    Eur J Immunol 41:1132-42. 2011
    ..These data show that inflammation inhibits Treg function through soluble factors present in plasma. These results underscore the functional role of FOXP3(+) Tregs during inflammation in vivo...
