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
## Abstract Fiftyโsix sera and 33 synovial fluids from rheumatoid arthritis patients were studied to evaluate their capacity to solubilize immune complexes. A decreased function was found in 65% of rheumatoid synovial fluids when compared with 13 osteoarthritis synovial fluids. The decrease of immu
