Classic histopathologic findings include the infiltration of inflammatory cells into muscle tissues. Neutrophil serine proteinases (NSPs) are granule-associated enzymes and play roles in inflammatory cell migration by increasing the permeability of vascular endothelial cells. In this study, we aimed to find the roles of NSPs in pathogenesis of IIMs. SN - 1478-6362 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-018-1632-x DO - 10.1186/s13075-018-1632-x ID - Gao2018 ER -
