This is an article about possible autoimmunity mechanisms in (animal models of) Lupus... It mainly discusses cytokines, and some types of immune cell... It's perhaps not a very substantial study, but I thought it might interest people who are interested in the role of cytokines... And there's perhaps some overlap with cytokine findings in ME...

A team led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center recently revealed new insights into the mechanisms underlying the development of autoimmunity in animal models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study was recently published in the journal Cell Reports and is entitled “Neutrophils Regulate Humoral Autoimmunity by Restricting Interferon-γ Production via the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species”.
