Abstract
We studied the phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocytes and serum immunoglobulin concentration in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of more than 12 months duration. Subpopulations of CDIgM+, CD25+, and HLA-DR+ lymphocytes and IgA concentration differed in these groups of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The count of lymphocytes carrying CDIgM+ and HLA-DR+ receptors correlated with activity of rheumatoid arthritis.
