## 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 In reactive arthritis (ReA), a bacteria‐specific T cell response to the triggering microbe is detected in synovial fluid. So far, direct characterization of bacteria‐specific T cells and identification of the immunodominant fine specificities remain difficult due to the la
In a previous study we have shown that synovial fluid mononuclear cells from many rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients exhibit an enhanced response to M. tuberculosis antigens as compared to peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The 65-kDa heat-shock protein of M. tuberculosis was shown not to play an i
