## Abstract Suppressor/cytotoxic T cells express the surface marker CD8, which can be measured in a soluble form in culture supernatants of activated human lymphocytes. Using a sandwich immunoassay, we assessed the levels of soluble CD8 (sCD8) in serum from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n
Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sll-2R) levels were quantitated in the seum and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and degenerative joint disease (DJD). A sandwich immunoassay, employing two monoclonal antiodies against distinct epitopes on the lL-2R, was utilized for mea
In a previous study, we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure soluble human interleukin-2 receptors (IL3R), and found that when activated lymphocytes produce cell-associated IL-2R, they also release a soluble form of IL3R into culture supernatants in vitro. Soluble IL-2R have also bee
## Abstract Synovial fluids from 31 patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 23 patients with seronegative RA had significantly increased levels of breakdown products of C3, C4, and properdin factor B when compared to patients with osteoarthritis (OA) (__P__ < 0.01). The same patien
