چکیده
Mycoplasmas were not isolated from synovial fluid or membrane specimens taken from 41 patients suffering from inflammatory polyarthritis. However, Mycoplasma pneumoniae was isolated in two laboratories and on two occasions from the knee joint of a hypogammaglobulinaemic patient with a chronic polyarthritis.

Background: Heat-shock proteins are part of a strictly controlled biological system that allows organisms to respond to environmental stresses. Different proinflammatory cytokines are present in the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Such tissues respond to stress and induce heat-shock proteins. In addition, synovial cells are exposed to mechanical stress caused by joint motion. ...

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the major species of mycoplasmas which could contaminate cell cultures. Identification of M. pneuminae is significant because Mycoplasmas could contaminate and have unsuitable effect on the cell cultures. Rapid detection of these contaminations is so important and it could be significant role in preventing and controlling of contamination in cell cul...
