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
