## Abstract The existence of a subpopulation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who lack detectable rheumatoid factor (RF) is well documented. The cellular basis for nonexpression of RF in seronegative RA is not understood. In order to approach this problem, we compared mononuclear leukocyt

Objective. To compare the B cell repertoire of normal individuals and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, specifically, to identify precursor B cells with the potential to secrete rheumatoid factor (RF) and to understand the T helper cell requirements for the production of this autoantibody

The role of natural killer (NK) cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear. A pathogenetic function of rheumatoid factors (RF) also has not been defined. In the present studies, natural killer (NK) cells were examined as a model for FC gamma receptor type III-positive (FC gamma RIII+) cells,

We quantified rheumatoid factor cross-reactive idiotype (RF-CRI) in whole serum from RF+ rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, using an inhibition enzymelinked immunosorbent assay which is not affected by the presence of IgG. Serum from 16 RF+ RA patients contained 2-252 pg/ml RF-CRI (geometric mean \
