## 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

## Abstract ## Objective To study the specific effects of rituximab treatment on the synovium in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) early after initiation of treatment. ## Methods Seventeen RA patients underwent an arthroscopic synovial biopsy procedure directly before and 1 month after rec
Synovial membrane biopsy specimens from 15 rheumatoid arthritis patients were examined using routine histologic stains and monoclonal antibodies directed against cell surface antigens. Three patterns of lymphoid cell infiltrates were recognized: 1) diffuse infiltration of T cells that surrounded clu
