T lymphocyte lines from arthritic synovial fluid: establishment and function.
نویسندگان
چکیده
T lymphocyte lines have been established, with the addition of interleukin-2 (IL-2), from the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with arthritis. Characterisation of seven of these SF-derived T cell lines showed them to be T3+, T11+, and to contain a significant proportion of T8+ cells (mean 41%). The proportion of T4+ cells varied among the lines, with a mean T4+/T8+ ratio of 0.6. A significant autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) was observed only in one of four T cell lines assayed. Two of four lines assayed showed natural killer (NK) cell-like activity, while one line displayed a significant suppressor activity, suggesting that the T cell population in SF contained NK-like cells or suppressor cells, or both, either of which may be selected in the establishment of SF-derived T cell lines.

Analyzing the synovial fluid is one of the common methods to diagnose the articular problems to detect the stage and express the prognosis. Such gross, cytological, and biochemical analysis of synovial fluids can aid in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. Objectives: Normal values for synovial fluid in the camels have been described previously; however, there are no reports regarding conce...

A reverse haemolytic plaque forming cell (PFC) assay was employed to analyse the impact of T suppressor/cytotoxic and T helper cells on B cell function in 10 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In all cases T8-enriched cells from synovial fluid and blood suppressed the pokeweed mitogen (PWM) induced IgM, IgG, and IgA secretion by autologous lymphocytes to the same degree. The suppression w...
متن کاملRaised levels of anti-glucose-6-phosphate isomerase IgG in serum and synovial fluid from patients with inflammatory arthritis.
BACKGROUND In K/BxN mice, anti-glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) antibodies (Abs) are arthritogenic, and their transfer into naive mice induces arthritis. Anti-GPI Abs develop in many human patients with RA and are associated with more severe forms of the disease. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the serum and synovial fluid (SF) anti-GPI IgG profiles among different patient groups with a variety of ...
متن کاملEffect of Arthritic Synovial Fluids on the Expression of Immunomodulatory Factors by Mesenchymal Stem Cells: An Explorative in vitro Study
BACKGROUND In diseased joints, the catabolic environment results in progressive joint damage. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can have immunomodulatory effects by secreting anti-inflammatory factors. To exert these effects, MSCs need to be triggered by pro-inflammatory cytokines. To explore the potential of MSCs as a treatment for diseased joints, we studied the effect of synovial fluid (SF) from...
متن کاملTreatment with anti-NAP monoclonal antibody reduces disease severity in murine model of novel angiogenic protein-induced or ovalbumin-induced arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a polyarticular inflammatory, angiogenic disease. Synovial angiogenesis contributes to inflammation in RA. In this study we have developed an arthritic model in rats using a novel angiogenic protein (NAP), isolated from human synovial fluid of RA patients. We produced anti-NAP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and investigated the therapeutic efficacy of the same in adju...
