Abstract

Several studies have focused on the antifibrotic potential of the Th1 cytokine IFN-γ-1b through suppression of Th2 fibrogenic functions. It has been reported that IFN-γ induces the production of CXCL11 in the lung and plasma of patients with lung-fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the levels of CXCL11 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of SSc patients might be a predictor of clinically significant fibrotic lung involvement.
