Investigation of type I interferon responses in ANCA-associated vasculitis
Abstract Type I interferon (IFN) dysregulation is a major contributory factor in the development of several autoimmune diseases, termed type I interferonopathies, and is thought to be the pathogenic link with chronic inflammation in these conditions.
