Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the associations among cytokines of the IL-12 family in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to evaluate their relationships with the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, the latent form of TGF-β1 (LAP-bound, without prior sample activation), clinical parameters, and disease subtypes.
