Abstract excerpt
Binucleated giant cells several times larger than lymphocytes or monocytes were generated in an autologous mixed leucocyte reaction (AMLR) independent of DNA synthesis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The AMLR giant cells with multiple cytoplasmic granules were non-specific esterase-st...
