Monocyte/macrophage polypeptides (monokines) alter the properties of synovial cells. This interaction could explain some of the properties of the inflamed synovium in rheumatic disease. Only recently has it been possible to test the action of purified monokines on the target synovial cells. We repor

Cell-mediated immunity and macrophage activity, especially that of Kupffer cells, are impaired during cholestasis. Some evidence exists that bile acids play a role in these immune defects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of individual bile acids on immunity and to determine whe
Cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 20 patients with scleroderma were shown to produce high levels of interleukin-la, interleukin-lp, and tumor necrosis factor a. There were positive correlations between the production of these 3 molecules. Purified monocytes from these patients produce
