Systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 
Many people have contributed to this work and in particular I would like to 
thank the following people:
The patients who participated in the studies. Without your contribution none of 
this would have been possible.
My supervisor, 
Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist
, for giving me the opportunity to 
do research. It has been a couple of fun and interesting years and I have learned 
a lot from you. You are an extremely hard-working person but somehow you 
always found time for me when I needed your help. During our numerous 
discussions on scientific matters, we always found ways to incorporate humour. 
In the future, I know that we will keep in touch and I hope that we will have 
much prosperous collaboration (I won’t stop terrorizing you with e-mails). 
Thank you! 
My fellow group members in the lab: Lisbeth Ärlestig, Heidi Kokkonen, and 
Solveig Linghult.
