β¦ Synopsis
Surface expression of 16 different membrane molecules was analyzed in peripheral blood and synovial fluid monocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis compared to controls. The most significant findings were modulated expression of function-associated FcRI, CR1, CR3, MHC class II and activation-associated CD31, M5, and M6 molecules in arthritis patients compared to controls. Of these molecules, only upregulated expression of MHC class II has previously been reported in synovial fluid monocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease. The lack of knowledge of the involved target antigens severely hampers research on relevant T cells in patients. Here we describe the functional analysis of freshly isolated T cells from the peripheral blood and the site of the lesion (sy
