## Abstract Markedly elevated levels of T cells expressing Ia antigens were found in the synovial membranes and synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The primary increase in expression of the la antigens was on the OKT 8+ (suppressor/cytotoxic) T cell subset. In addition, the total
Synovial fluid (SF) and synovial tissue from 10 patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis were examined. The SFs were heterogeneous with respect to the degree of complement activation. Quantification of C3dg and the terminal complement complex revealed a positive correlation between activation of
We used flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation techniques to study the expression of the activation molecules transferrin receptor, interleukin-2 receptor, HLA-DR, and very late activation antigen 1 (VLA-1) on purified T lymphocytes from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of 9 patients with rheumat
