## 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 Suppressor/cytotoxic T cells express the surface marker CD8, which can be measured in a soluble form in culture supernatants of activated human lymphocytes. Using a sandwich immunoassay, we assessed the levels of soluble CD8 (sCD8) in serum from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n
We used flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation techniques to study the expression of the activation molecules transferrin receptor, interleukin-2 receptor, HLA-DR, and very late activation antigen 1 (VLA-1) on purified T lymphocytes from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of 9 patients with rheumat
## Abstract ## Objective This pilot clinical study was undertaken to investigate the role of T cell vaccination in the induction of regulatory immune responses in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ## Methods Autologous synovial T cells were selected for pathologic relevance, rendered inac
