## Abstract ## Objective To find evidence for the presence of endothelial precursor cells, which can induce new vessel formation, in the synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods Precursor cells in the synovial tissue of 18 RA patients and 15

## Abstract ## Objective To explore the role of immune cells in antiβRNP autoimmunity in a murine model of pneumonitis or glomerulonephritis, using adoptive transfer techniques. ## Methods Donor mice were immunized with 50 ΞΌg of U1β70βkd small nuclear RNP fusion protein and 50 ΞΌg of U1 RNA adjuv
In the normal central nervous system (CNS) expression of MHC class II is minimal, but has been found to be highly up-regulated on microglia cells in experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). Here we used the EAE model to examine the regulation of expression of the class II transactivator (CIITA),
Although there is relatively little evidence of inflammation in osteoarthritis (OA), increases in mast cell numbers and mast cell activation are prominent features of the synovial tissue. As little is known of the types of mast cells which may be involved, the numbers and distribution of mast cell s
