To quantify stromelysin and collagenase in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or traumatic knee injury. Methods. Stromelysin and collagenase were measured in the SF of 33 patients with RA or pttraumatic knee injury, using specific double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked
Cytokines regulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis during inflammatory processes. Since cytokmes are also involved in the inflammatory processes of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, we examined levels of NGF in patients with rheumatoid or other types of chronic arthritis. NGF was present in the syn
We studied synovial fluid (SF) collagenase in 10 women with severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 10 with pyrophosphate arthropathy, and 10 with idiopathic destructive disease of the shoulder conforming to a pattern recently described. SF cell counts were highest in the RA group. Particles were detected
