T lymphocyte lines from arthritic synovial fluid: establishment and function.

RESUMO
T lymphocyte lines have been established, with the addition of interleukin-2 (IL-2), from the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with arthritis. Characterisation of seven of these SF-derived T cell lines showed them to be T3+, T11+, and to contain a significant proportion of T8+ cells (mean 41%). The proportion of T4+ cells varied among the lines, with a mean T4+/T8+ ratio of 0.6. A significant autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) was observed only in one of four T cell lines assayed. Two of four lines assayed showed natural killer (NK) cell-like activity, while one line displayed a significant suppressor activity, suggesting that the T cell population in SF contained NK-like cells or suppressor cells, or both, either of which may be selected in the establishment of SF-derived T cell lines.
