Unique immunologic patterns in fibromyalgia – FM test and biomarkers
The cytokine (IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MIP-1β , MCP-1, and MIP1-α ) responses to mitogenic activators of PBMC isolated from patients with FM were significantly lower than those of healthy individuals, implying that cell-mediated immunity is impaired in FM patients. This research resulted in a diagnostic test for fibromyalgia.
