From: Investigating a pathogenic role for TXNDC5 in rheumatoid arthritis
Serum levels of TXNDC5 and anti-TXNDC5 antibody in patients with arthritic diseases and healthy controls. TXNDC5 levels are represented by OD values of absorbance at 405 nm and are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. (A) A sandwich ELISA detected increased level of TXNDC5 in blood samples from RA patients compared to samples from OA, AS and SLE patients, as well as from healthy controls. (B) An ELISA indicated that levels of anti-TXNDC5 antibodies were not significantly different among blood samples from RA, OA and AS patients and the healthy controls. AS, ankylosing spondylitis; OA, osteoarthritis; RA, rheumatoid arthritis.
