Figure 1From: Infiltration of the synovial membrane with macrophage subsets and polymorphonuclear cells reflects global disease activity in spondyloarthropathyDistinct synovial features in spondyloarthropathy (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Vascularity, CD163+ macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were significantly increased in SpA, whereas lining-layer hyperplasia, lymphoid aggregates, CD1a+ dendritic cells, intracellular citrullinated proteins (detected by anticitrulline staining), and MHC–HC gp39 complexes (detected by staining with monoclonal antibody (mAb) 12A) were higher in RA.Back to article page
