Plasma apolipopotein C-2 elevation is associated with Takayasu arteritis

Abstract Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an autoimmune systemic arteritis of unknown etiology. Although a number of investigators have attempted to determine biomarkers for diagnosing TAK, there exist no specific serological markers of this intractable disease. We undertook the exploration of novel sero...
