Nevertheless, we found 16 proteins that showed nominally significant differential expression in the circulation of patients with AIH, namely CA1, CA3, GAS6, FCGR2A, TIMD4, EFEMP1, CSF-1, CX3CL1, CCL23, IL-18R1, IL-10RB, OPG, 4E-BP1, CXCL10 and CCL19. The gene discussed is CX3CL1; the disease is autoimmune hepatitis.
