Abstract excerpt
<p>Introduction: Synovial natural killer (NK) cells contribute to inflammation in arthritis by secreting cytokines and modulating synovial fibroblast activation. The aim of this study was to describe systemic versus local inflammatory changes of NK cell subsets as well as their physical cell-cell interactions in arthritis patients. METHODS: Spectral flow cytometry was used to compare paired peripheral blood (PB)...
