title: [Activation of Fc gamma receptor (CD16) positive natural killer cells by rheumatoid factors in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Fc gamma-receptor-(CD16-)positive natural killer (NK) cells are activated by rheumatoid factor in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This activation induces modulation of the CD16 molecule and release of IFN gamma and TNF alpha by NK cells.
