However, GalXM did induce an increase of the mean of fluorescence intensity (MFI) of caspase-3 in double positive caspase-3+/IL-17+ activated T cells from the control and RA patients (control: 63.7±2.8 to 79.5±3.9 and RA: 63.2±6.5 to 77.8±6.5). The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
