Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have established a sample collection system from the pediatric rheumatic diseases and a system for measuring the number of immunocytes. However, the number of samples is not enough to analyze the results. Although the planned research period has ended, I will continue to collect samples steadily and measure and analyze the number of immunocytes.
