The amount of sCD62P in plasma had a significant positive correlation with the Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28) for RA based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP), which represent enhanced inflammatory responses (Figure 6B, p = 0.0138 and p = 0.0476, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and rheumatoid arthritis.
