Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sll-2R) levels were quantitated in the seum and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and degenerative joint disease (DJD). A sandwich immunoassay, employing two monoclonal antiodies against distinct epitopes on the lL-2R, was utilized for mea
The synovial expression and serum levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-11, leukemia inhibitory factor, and oncostatin m in rheumatoid arthritis

## Abstract ## Objective Interleukinβ8 (ILβ8) plays an important role in the migration of inflammatory cells into the synovium and joint fluids in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was undertaken to investigate the ILβ8 inductive activity of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in
In a previous study, we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure soluble human interleukin-2 receptors (IL3R), and found that when activated lymphocytes produce cell-associated IL-2R, they also release a soluble form of IL3R into culture supernatants in vitro. Soluble IL-2R have also bee
