Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to quantify the number PB and RA SF. With or without P/I plus IL-23, the percentage of
of T-helper (TH)-17 cells present in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) TH-17 cells was higher in RA SF compared with normal and RA
synovial fluid (SF) and to determine the level of interleukin (IL)- PB. IL-17 levels were comparable in OA and normal synovial
17 cytokine in RA, osteoarthritis (OA) and normal synovial tissues, and these values were significantly increased in RA
tissue, as well as to examine SF macrophages for t
