  • These findings demonstrate that multistage-specific antigens might be promising targets for the next generation TB vaccine, and a combination of these antigens such as WH121/DMT is required for further preclinical evaluation. (oncotarget.com)
  • STAT4 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 4): Variants in the STAT4 gene have been associated with an increased risk of lupus and are thought to affect the regulation of the immune system . (adntro.com)
  • Some variants or changes in this gene have been associated with two autoimmune diseases called Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. (adntro.com)
  • At ADNTRO analyzes genetic markers in all these genes and many other genes associated with lupus. (adntro.com)
