Objective. To compare the B cell repertoire of normal individuals and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, specifically, to identify precursor B cells with the potential to secrete rheumatoid factor (RF) and to understand the T helper cell requirements for the production of this autoantibody
## Abstract ## Objective To study the regulation of interleukinβ18 binding protein (ILβ18BP) production by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or control peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and by RA synovial tissue cells, and to compare the levels of ILβ18BP messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in whole
