“…Furthermore, the expression levels of sOX40 were significantly elevated in MG patients in remission compared with MG patients at baseline, and the expression of sOX40L was significantly lower in MG patients in remission than in MG patients at baseline and MG patients in relapse. (3) Plasma levels of sOX40 and sOX40L were significantly decreased in 13 patients with relapsed MG after immunosuppressive treatment compared with those before treatment. (4) Correlation analysis showed that the expression of OX40 on CD4+ T cells in patients with relapsed MG was positively correlated with the concentration of acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AchR-Ab), whereas the expression of OX40L on CD19+ B cells and CD14+ monocytes was negatively correlated with disease duration. (5) Binary regression analysis showed that patients with high CD4+ OX40 expression and high sOX40L levels had an increased risk of relapse. …”
