Abstract:
Lymphocytes from 12 rheumatoid arthritis patients were phenotyped before and after a 2-month treatment with tiopronin. Originally reduced, CD4 CD45RA-T lymphocytes were shown to augment significantly. Abnormal activation (evaluated on HLA-DR and CD25 expression) of each cell population and sub-population was partially amended.
