Interferon type I gemedieerde immuun activatie in gegeneraliseerde auto-immuunziekten
This thesis describes research performed on several generalized autoimmune diseases with the main focus on primary Sjögren’s syndrome. Interferon type I has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these diseases and will be introduced in this chapter together with other important immune factors in these diseases such as BAFF and Th17 cells. In this chapter first a general introduction about the immune system will be given, followed by introduction about Interferon type I, BAFF, Th17, Sjögren’s syndrome and finally the other two studied autoimmune diseases.
