Illness progression in CFS: immune signature changes
Research abstract: Background: Validation of biomarkers for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) across data sets has proven disappointing. As immune signature may be affected by many factors, our objective was to explore the shift in discriminatory cytokines across ME/CFS subjects … Continue reading
A blood test can distinguish severity CFS/ME subgroups for research
Research abstract: Immunological dysregulation is present in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), with recent studies also highlighting the importance of examining symptom severity. This research addressed this relationship between CFS/ME severity subgroups, assessing serum immunoglobulins and serum cytokines in severe … Continue reading
ME and Gulf War Illness have distinct immune profiles
Research abstract Highlights Gulf War illness (GWI) is characterized by a Th1/Th17 shift. Th1, Th2 and inflammatory cytokines characterize myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). Cytokine importance by Random Forest were IL-7, IL-4, TNF-a, IL-13, and IL-17F. GWI and ME have distinct cytokine … Continue reading
