Recently published paper from Dr. Sarthak Gupta, NIAMS Scholar in the Rheumatology Training Program, evaluates the role of autoantibodies in lupus and other systemic autoimmune diseases. Researchers found that lupus patients have an excess of autoantibodies against signaling proteins called interferons. These anti-interferon autoantibodies are a potential therapeutic target for lupus.
