Susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) maps to residues QKRAA/QRRAA in the third hypervariable region of the HLA DRI31 chain. Peptides from the same area of MHC class II molecules are able to modulate the T-cell repertoire by deleting self-reactive T-cells. The Epstein Barr virus glycoprotein g
URING THE PAST FEW YEARS there has been a renewal of interest D in the study of synovial fluid. One recent development has been the demonstration of unusual inclusion bodies within the leukocytes present in inflammatory effusions. While not exclusively limited to rheumatoid arthritis, the phenomenon
## Abstract In order to assess a possible role of the natural glutathione defense system in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), serum reduced glutathione levels (GSH), glutathione reductase (GSR), glutathione __S__βtransferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GSHβPx) and alkaline phosphata
Understanding the inheritance of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been the quest of intense investigation over the last decade. One major focus of these efforts has been the attempt to identify genes within the class I1 region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that confer susceptibility for
## Abstract ## Objective To examine the involvement of the metastasisβinducing protein S100A4 (Mtsβ1) in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ## Methods Synovial tissue, synovial fluid, and plasma were obtained from RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients who were undergoing joint surgery.
