Rheumatoid Inflammatory T‐Cell Clones express mostly Th1 but also Th2 and Mixed (Th0‐Like) Cytokine Patterns
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
This study was performed in order to characterize whether T cells from rheumatoid synovial inflammation belong to the Th1- or Th2-like functional subsets. Cytokine production was studied in 26 CD4+ alpha beta+ and 2 CD8+ alpha beta T-cell clones from the synovial fluid, the synovial membrane and peripheral blood of 5 patients. Fifteen of the CD4+ clones were raised against various mycobacterial antigens and 11...
