Isolation of rheumatoid factors [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1961 AbstractA method for the separation of rheumatoid factors into two serologically distinct macroglobulins is described. Macroglobulins, reacting with cells coated with human as well as with rabbit gamma globulin, were found to be mainly 19.4S, but occasionally such preparations contained minor constituents sedimenting at 22s as well as 27s ...

TCD4pos lymphocytosis in rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis patients following TNFα blocking agents [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Lymphocyte expansion and true lymphocytosis are commonly observed in the everyday clinical practice. The meaning of such phenomenon is often poorly understood so that discrimination between benign and malignant lymphocytosis remains ...

Driving chronicity in rheumatoid arthritis: perpetuating role of myeloid cells [PDF]
, 2018 Acute inflammation is a complex and tightly regulated homeostatic process that includes leukocyte migration from the vasculature into tissues to eliminate the pathogen/injury, followed by a pro-resolving response promoting tissue repair.

Anticarbamylated protein antibodies are associated with long-term disability and increased disease activity in patients with early inflammatory arthritis:Results from the Norfolk Arthritis Register [PDF]
, 2015 Objectives: Anticarbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies are a novel family of autoantibodies recently identified in patients with inflammatory arthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate their association with long-term outcomes of disability

Radioimmunoassay of rheumatoid factor [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1969 AbstractA radioimmunological method for assaying rheumatoid factor is proposed and analyzed. The method is based on the reaction between rheumatoid factor, either purified or present in serum, and purified labeled yg globulin. This assay permits a quantitative estimation of rheumatoid factor levels in rheumatoid‐positive serum and provides evidence ...

Optimising use of electronic health records to describe the presentation of rheumatoid arthritis in primary care: a strategy for developing code lists [PDF]
, 2013 Background Research using electronic health records (EHRs) relies heavily on coded clinical data. Due to variation in coding practices, it can be difficult to aggregate the codes for a condition in order to define cases.
