✦ Synopsis
To study the Ig genes that encode IgG rheumatoid factor (IgG-RF) from rheumatoid synovial fluid.
Methods. We used rheumatoid synovial fluid B cells to generate IgG-RF-secreting hybridomas. We then characterized their binding properties and determined their nucleotide sequences.
Results. Two monospecific IgG-RFs were ob-

## Abstract The concentration of fibronectin in rheumatoid synovial fluid was found to be 2–3 times higher than in the corresponding plasma. Normal plasma revealed a homogeneous precipitate by cross‐immunoelectrophoresis using antifibronectin, while rheumatoid plasma and rheumatoid synovial fluid e
