## Abstract ## Objective To study the regulation of interleukinβ18 binding protein (ILβ18BP) production by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or control peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and by RA synovial tissue cells, and to compare the levels of ILβ18BP messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in whole
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
## 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
