| Description |
Recent advances in the understanding of the immunology of giant cell arteritis have suggested that chemokines expressed by vascular endothelium attract CD68+ macrophages to infiltrate the vascular endothelium and contribute in the vaso-occlusive disease of giant-cell arteritis. We hypothesize that the presence of these cells along the internal elastic lamina (IEL) of temporal artery biopsies (TAB) predict the prognosis for these patients. |
