Surface expression of 16 different membrane molecules was analyzed in peripheral blood and synovial fluid monocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis compared to controls. The most significant findings were modulated expression of function-associated FcRI, CR1, CR3, MHC
## Abstract ## Objective CD16 (IgG FcΞ³ receptor type IIIA [FcΞ³RIIIA])βexpressing CD14+ monocytes express high levels of Tollβlike receptor 2 (TLRβ2) and are able to efficiently produce proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor Ξ± (TNFΞ±). To understand the role of CD16 and TLRβ2 in mon
Rheumatoid arthritis is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease. The lack of knowledge of the involved target antigens severely hampers research on relevant T cells in patients. Here we describe the functional analysis of freshly isolated T cells from the peripheral blood and the site of the lesion (sy
