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
