we examined the effects of IL6 inhibition treatment on biologic molecular pathways in a 59 year old patient well diagnosed with RA with inadequate response to DMARD thus treated with tocilizumab. To assess the immunological outcome we used quantitative proteome analysis to evaluate changes in the proteome profile of different biologic pathways in leukocyte cell populations important to RA pathogenesis isolated by positive enrichment of CD14, CD4, CD8, CD19, and CD56.
