Abstract excerpt
As the T-cell population in the synovial tissue (ST) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is dominated by T helper (Th) 1 cells, this study was designed to examine whether there is a preferential migration of polarized T cells to ST, and to identify the chemokines responsible for the migration. This was done by developing 10 T-cell clones specific for an arbitrary antigen (mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG)) from the...
