Does C-reactive protein modulate T-lymphocyte function in methotrexate-treated rheumatoid arthritis patients?

Thirty-four patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated with oral methotrexate for 6 months. Methotrexate was given as a single weekly dose of 7.5-10 mg.

A study of the correlation between the amount of deoxynivalenol in grain of wheat and triticale and percentage ofFusarium damaged kernels.

The correlation between the amount of deoxynivalenol (DON) and the percentage ofFusarium damaged kernels (FDK) in samples of wheat and triticale was studied.Samples of naturally infected wheat grain, collected in 1986, 1987 and 1988 and of triticale collected in 1986 were used.Additionally, artificial inoculated wheat samples (10 genotypes inoculated with 3F.

Binding of C-reactive protein (CRP) by human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vivo.

Antigenicity of C-reactive protein (CRP) on the surface of human lymphocytes was investigated by use of indirect immunofluorescence technique with anti-CRP antibodies. CRP on the lymphocyte surface (sd-CRP) belongs to two different categories: i) CRP produced by lymphocytes and inserted into cell membrane (s-CRP), ii) CRP produced primarily by the liver and bound by the lymphocytes (sb-CRP) in calcium-dependent manner. In human peripheral blood of healthy donors approximately 2.
