title: [Activation of T lymphocytes in the blood and joints of patients with rheumatoid polyarthritis].
abstract: The proportion of T Lymphocytes with receptors for interleukin 2 is increased in the blood, the synovial fluid and, in particular, the synovial membrane in rheumatoid arthritis. However, there is no correlation between the percentage in blood and the percentage in the joints. The helper T lymphocytes are proportionately more activated than the suppressor T lymphocytes.
