Journal Article
(2005). Polymorphism in the tumour necrosis factor receptor II gene is associated with circulating levels of soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors in rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis Research and Therapy, R1227 -R1234. https://doi.org/10.1186/ar1816

Levels of soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors (sTNFRs) are elevated in the circulation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although these receptors can act as natural inhibitors of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, levels of sTNFRs in RA app...
