Johns Hopkins researchers have identified that specific antiviral protein combinations trigger lupus symptoms and affect treatment. This discovery has the potential to transform lupus treatment by allowing clinicians to personalize care based on a patient's interferon profile. The study's focus on three groups of interferons could pave the way for new clinical subtypes of lupus.
