Immunosuppressive roles of lysophosphatidylserine in systemis lupus erythematosus
Lysophospholipids function as mediators through G protein-coupled receptors in vivo. Recent our studies revealed that lysophosphatidylserine (lysoPS) has immunosuppressive effects in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of immunosuppression by lysoPS.
