Etanercept down-regulates cytokine levels (TNF-α and BAFF) and laboratory indicators (ESR, CRP, and RF) in patients with RA. (A) The level of TNF-α in healthy people, RA patients, and RA patients treated with etanercept was detected by ELISA. (B) The level of BAFF in healthy people, RA patients, and RA patients treated with etanercept was detected by ELISA. (C) Change in ESR level after etanercept treatment. (D) Change in CRP level after etanercept treatment. (E) Change in RF level after etanercept treatment. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
