An easy and rapid method for the purification and characterization of hyaluronan from synovial fluid has been developed. Lipids were removed by filtration through a hydrophobic filter prior to the removal of proteins by phenol-chloroform extraction. The hyaluronan recovery was \(95 \%\), as measured
## Abstract Synovial fluid fibronectin from normal subjects and from patients who have rheumatic inflammatory diseases has been studied and compared with plasma fibronectin. The average fibronectin concentration in synovial fluids from normal subjects was 172 ยฑ 69 ฮผg/ml; it was 721 ยฑ 315 and 556 ยฑ
A cofactor that selectively opsonizes particulate activators of the human alternative complement pathway and enhances their phagocytosis by human monocytes was identified in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The active material was present in fluids treated with protease inhibit
## Abstract ## Objective To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) for the presence of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), to compare SF MPCs with bone marrow (BM) MPCs, and to enumerate these cells in both inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods SF from 100 patients with arthritis (53
