Cytokine mRNA levels in mononuclear blood cells from patients with multiple sclerosis
Abstract
We determined the cytokine messenger RNA (mRNA) expression pattern of blood mononuclear cells in 45 patients with the relapsing-remitting form of MS and 32 patients with other neurologic diseases. Using a semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction method, we detected significantly higher levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and lymphotoxin mRNA in patients with relapsing compared to those with stable disease (p < 0.001), but transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-10 mRNA expressions were higher in patients with stable disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
