## Abstract ## Objective CD16 (IgG Fcγ receptor type IIIA [FcγRIIIA])–expressing CD14+ monocytes express high levels of Toll‐like receptor 2 (TLR‐2) and are able to efficiently produce proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). To understand the role of CD16 and TLR‐2 in mon
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) have been shown to induce apoptosis in human lymphocytes. In the present report, we investigated in parallel the regulation of the three oncogenes bcl-2, c-myc, and Fas. A reduction in c-myc and bcl-2 levels of 35-40% and 22-27%, respectively, was observed. On the ot
The cellular infiltrates and cytokine patterns in synovial tissue (ST) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and reactive arthritis (ReA) were compared in order to determine the mechanisms responsible for the chronic and destructive course of RA. Since the results could be influenced by diffe
