Recent studies have suggested that previously unknown proteins found in human blood could be involved in certain auto-immune conditions. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the presence (or absence) of these proteins in blood from patients with SLE. Identifying new proteins involved in the SLE disease process could provide a new molecular model for auto-immune disorders and eventually lead to new diagnostic tools and/or new therapies.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
