    Notes: The percentages of lymphocytes carrying different classes of membrane-bound Ig, and lymphocytes forming rosettes with sheep erythrocytes (E-RFC), as well as lymphocytes with receptor for the Fc-part of IgG (EA-RFC) were determined in 19 patients with atopic dermatitis. Lymphocyte suspensions were also stained with a specific rabbit anti-human T-lymphocyte antiserum. Furthermore, the serum concentration of IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE and the complement factors C3 and C4 were measured. A small but significant increase in lymphocytes with membrane-bound IgE and an increase in the serum concentration of IgE and complement factor C4 were observed. A decrease in the percentages of lymphocytes with receptors for sheep erythrocytes (E-RFC) was also found. The percentages of lymphocytes that stained with the anti-T antiserum correlated well with the percentages of lymphocytes forming rosettes with sheep erythrocytes. In one patient we found increased IgE positive lymphocytes, increased IgE serum concentration and a decreased T-cell number.

    Notes: Monoclonal antibodies with specificities for various human T-cell antigens were used in direct immunofluorescence to quantify the proportions of T lymphocytes with suppressor/ cytotoxic-cell markers and with helper/inducer-cell markers and of T lymphocytes with HLA-DR antigens. Normal percentages of lymphocytes with suppressor/cytotoxic-cell markers were detected in the peripheral blood synovial fluid and synovial tissue lymphocytes from patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), respectively. Normal percentages of T lymphocytes with helper/inducer-cell markers were seen in the peripheral blood of RA and JRA patients and in the synovial tissues of RA patients. Slightly decreased percentages of cells with the helper/inducer-cell marker were detected in the synovial fluids of JRA patients. The proportions of HLA-DR-positive T lymphocytes were highly increased in the synovial fluid and synovial tissue, whereas the numbers of these cells in the peripheral blood were normal. No significant differences in Tγ cells were detected between peripheral blood, synovial fluid and synovial tissue of JRA patients or between peripheral blood and synovial tissue of RA patients.

    Notes: Suppressor cell activity was investigated in peripheral blood lymphocytes from twenty patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and twenty patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) using a concanavalin A/mixed lymphocyte culture assay. The mean suppression in the RA patients was slightly reduced compared with the suppressor cell activity in adult controls (25±5% suppression compared with 37±5%; P〉0.05, Student's t test), whereas the JRA patients had normal suppressor cell activity (mean 46±5% versus 43±5% in healthy children matched for age and sex). The RA patients had normal proportions of T-cell subpopulations, 13.3% Tγ cells and 49.8% Tμ cells, compared with 13.8% and 58.0% in controls. The JRA patients, however, had a significantly reduced mean percentage of Tγ cells, 6.6%, compared with 13.8% in healthy children (P〈0.05, Mann-Whitney U-test). The mean percentage of Tμ cells was 53.7%, versus 56.2% in the controls. The relation between suppressor cell activity and suppressor cells enumerated by membrane markers is discussed.

    Notes: 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+αβ+ and 2 CD8+αβ 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 CD4+ clones and 2 CD8+ clones were raised unspecifically using PHA and/or IL-2. The specificities of these clones are not known. In the mycobacterial antigen-specific group, all CD4+’αβ T-cell clones produced IFN-γ at high levels, while the production of IL-4 was generally absent or low (〈 1 ng/ml), consistent with a Thl-like profile. Some of these clones, however, also produced various amounts of IL-10 which has been regarded as a Th2 product but can be produced also in lower amounts by Thi cells. One HSP-65-specific clone produced levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in the same order as that of IFN-γ, thus appearing to be Th0-like. Among the 11 unspecific CD4+ clones, 7 showed a Thl-like pattern but with lower levels of IFN-γ than the antigen-specific clones. However, three clones did not produce any IFN-γ activity but produced IL-4 and one of them also produced distinct amounts of IL-10, compatible with a Th2-like pattern. In addition, one of the clones also showed an almost equally strong IFN-γ and IL-4 production, thus most likely representing a Th0-like clone.

    Notes: We have established IgG rheumatoid factor (RF)-secreting hybridoma cell lines from the synovial tissues of two patients (TS and SJ) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) und one (KL) with the polyarlicular form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). The IgG RF bind human and rubbit IgG and all except one form intracellular complement-fixing complexes indicative of a self-association process. The possibility of IgG RF for self association and immune complex formation is a feature thought to be important for the inflammatory processes in RA. Of the IgG RF-secretingcell lines established, three clones from patient SJ and one from patient KL are of the IgG Ik isotype while five clones from patient TS are of the IgG2λ isotype.

    Notes: Dendritic cells (DC) were isolated from synovial tissue and synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from peripheral blood of healthy donors. The cells were analysed for various surface antigens in indirect immunofluorescence by means of monoclonal antibodies. Surface antigen expression and accessory activity of the DC during short-term cultures were also investigated. Both the rheumatoid synovial and the normal blood DC were strongly positive for panleucocyte antigen and class II major histocompatibiligy complex (MHC) antigens (HLS-DP, HLA-DQ, and HLA-DR). The DC suspensions (Purity ∼80-85%) showed very low percentages of cells staining for various other cell membrane markers, including B cell, T cell, natural killer (NK) cell, and various monocyte/macrophage markers as well as markers specific for dendritic reticulum cells and Reed Sternberg cells. Moreover, neither rheumatoid nor normal DC reacted with the RFD1 monoclonal antibody, which is specific for interdigitating cells of human thymus. In contrast to Langerhans' cells, the DC lacked the thymocyte (T6) marker. The various DC expressed neither complement receptors (CR1, CR3), transferrin receptors, nor Fc receptors. They also lacked enzyme markers like peroxidase and nonspecific esterase. The DC formed clusters with autologous T cells. Cluster formation was readily inhibited by anti-HLA-DR and anti-CD2 (T11) monoclonal antibodies. After 3 to 5 days in culture the DC still expressed class II MHC antigens and were potent stimulators in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR). Only a small number of cells in the DC suspensions from synovial tissue expressed fibroblast antigens before and after culture.

    Notes: Dendritic cells (DC) were purified from the peripheral blood (PB) of normal individuals and from the synovial fluid (SF) and synovial tissue (ST) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These cells are strongly HLA-DR positive and lack B cell, T-cell, and monocyte markers as well as Birbeck granules. The DC were compared with monocytes and non-T cells from PB for their ability to act as accessory cells for T-cell responses to concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). DC from PB, SF and ST were much more efficient accessory cells for the mitogenic responses than autologous monocytes from PB. The mean PHA responses in cpm obtained with DC from the various compartments were 4–20 times greater than the responses obtained with monocytes from PB. The Con A responses obtained when the various DC populations were used as accessory cells were 3–13 times greater than those obtained with monocytes from PB. The mitogenic responses seen wish monocytes were very low. The non-T cells, which comprise a mixture of cells obtained after removal of T cells, also gave low T-cell responses to PHA and Con A compared with DC as accessory cells.

    Notes: The lymphocyte responses in autologous mixed lymphocyte reactions (AMLR) between irradiated non-T and T lymphocytes from the peripheral blood (PB) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile RA (JRA) patients were decreased compared with the AMLR responses of normal PB lymphocytes. Normal AMLR responses were seen in the synovial tissue and the synovial fluid lymphocytes from RA and JRA patients. The lymphocyte responses were also decreased in AMLR between irradiated non-T cells from peripheral blood and T cells from synovial tissue (ST) in RA patients and between irradiated non-T from PB and synovial fluid (SF) T cells in JRA patients. However, when irradiated non-T cells from ST of RA patients or from SF of JRA patients were mixed with autologous PB T lymphocytes, increased lymphocyte responses were observed. SF T lymphocyters and ST T cells were also shown to stimulate autologous PB T lymphocytes.

    Notes: Twenty to 40 % of T cells from synovial fluid and synovial tissue and 3–11 % of the peripheral blood T lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) expressed HLA-DR antigens as detected by monoclonal anti-HLA-DR antibodies in direct immunofluorescence. Synovial fluid and synovial tissue T lymphocytes had a stimulating capacity comparable to that of non-T cells in the allogeneic primary mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The MLR was inhibited by monoclonal anti-HLA-DR antibodies. This is, to our knowledge, the first report on in-vivo-activated T lymphocytes as stimulator cells in MLR. The results suggest that T cells from synovial fluid and synovial tissue are locally activated by stimuli so far unidentified.
