Objective. To determine the major source of eicosanoid release in arthritic joint tissues and to examine the modulation of this release by indomethacin and diclofenac. Methods. Release of prostaglandin E, (PGE,), 6-keto-PGF1,, leukotriene B, (LTB,), and LTC, was measured in supernatants of synovial
## Objective: To investigate the occurrence of igg antibodies to aggrecan in synovial fluids (sf) from patients with arthritis and various articular diseases, and to determine the nature of epitopes present within aggrecan that react with these antibodies. ## Methods: Sf samples were reacted with
