Dit is een deel van een (engels) artikel over de werking van Benlysta.
BENLYSTA inhibits the biological activity of B-lymphocyte stimulator, or BLyS®, which is a naturally occurring protein discovered by HGS.[4-5] In lupus and certain other autoimmune diseases, elevated levels of BLyS are believed to contribute to the production of autoantibodies – antibodies that attack and destroy the body’s own healthy tissues. The results of prospective observational studies show a significant correlation of elevated levels of BLyS with SLE disease activity
