Serial gene expression measurements of natural killer cells in active Behçet's disease. Serial gene expression measurements of interleukin-12 receptor β₂ (IL-12Rβ2), IL-13, perforin, and granzyme B in natural killer (NK) cells from patients with active Behçet's disease at the first evaluation. The relative gene expression levels in NK cells were determined by quantitative PCR in samples obtained at the time of active disease and at a follow-up visit during remission. NS, not significant.
