Monocyte-Derived and M1 Macrophages from Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients Released Higher TNF-α and Expressed More IL1B in Response to BzATP than Macrophages from Healthy Subjects

Scientists investigated the effect of 2ʹ(3ʹ)-O-(4-benzoyl benzoyl) ATP (BzATP) on the production of inflammatory cytokines in both monocyte-generated and M1 macrophages from patients and controls.
