## 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
Objective. To investigate the rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-specific autoantigen(s) recognized by CD4+ T cells in patients with RA. Methods. CD4+,CD45RO+ T cell clones were established from the joints of RA patients, and were examined for their proliferative response to synovial cells. Results. Eight of
## 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
Objective. To assess the expression of important accessory molecules such as CDSO (B7/BB1) and CD54 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) on potential antigenpresenting cells (APC) in the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. The level of expression of various acces
