| Abstract | ||
| Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease leading to joint destruction. Sixty patients with RA (40 females,20 males) and forty healthy individuals without inflammatory or autoimmune disease [who were used as normal subjects (20 females, 20males)] have been examined . Serum samples were collected from all patients and controls were taken during morning. Interferon (INF) -g and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels were evaluated by using Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay(ELISA). Results observed that, the frequency of females among RA groups(80%) with ratio of females: males(5:1) . Moreover, the mean age for RA and control groups are (38.2±7.5),(27.3±6.6) respectively .The estimation of INF-g and sIL-2R levels were highly significant in RA patients compared to the healthy control .The high level of INF-g may be due to activation of macrophage in an innate and an acquired immune response. Elevated sera sIL-2R level is considered as a sensitive marker for the immune system activity. | ||
