Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed at characterizing the phenotype and functions of adherent synovial fluid (SF) cells derived from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), comparing with fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) derived from RA synovial tissue (ST). Adherent SF-derived cells were spindle-shaped from passages 1-6 under light microscopy. The cell surface marker profile in SF-derived cells from passage 1-6 was similar to that of...
