  • 28 Accesses

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation affecting the synovial membranes of articulating joints. T lymphocytes, as regulators of immune responses, are thought to be involved in the initiation and perpetuation of RA (Feldmann et al. 1988).
