The effect of synovial fluid and washings of synovial membrane on autologous lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases has been studied using a rapid method based upon the increase in intranuclear birefringence occurring in the early stages of lymphocyte activation. Retardation of polarized light indicating increased lymphocyte activation was seen in lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis but not in lymphocytes from patients with other diseases.

Lymphocyte activation in rheumatoid synovial effusion.

A rapid method based upon increase in intranuclear birefringence occurring in early stages of lymphocyte activation was used to examine whether there is any difference in lymphocyte activation between lymphocytes from synovial fluid and those from peripheral blood in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other joint diseases. Increased activation of synovial fluid lymphocytes compared with peripheral blood lymphocytes was seen only in synovial effusions obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
