Summary of the expression of LD-specific genes in synovial tissues from patients with RA (●) and from normal individuals (○). In each experiment, we counted the number of positive cells in the lining of synovial tissues, and the levels of the mRNA expression were calculated as a percentage of positive cells. Then, we divided these data into three groups; namely, below 10% (Low), from 10 to 50% (Moderate) and more than 50% (High).
