Correlação entre expressão celular de proteínas reguladoras do complemento com a depleção e repopulação de linfócitos B no sangue periférico de pacientes com artrite reumatoide tratada com rituximabe

The increased CD46 expression was predictive of a faster repopulation of B‐lymphocytes in patients treated with RTX. Studies involving a larger number of patients will be needed to confirm the utility of basal expression of CRPs as a predictor of clinical response.
