Objective To identify a specific pattern of serum cytokines that correlates with the diagnosis, activity and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with early RA as well as with the level of serum markers of B cell activation.Methods Serum interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-Ra), IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-21, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), tumour necrosis factor alpha and interferon gamma levels were measured in the (ESPOIR) Etude et Suivi des POlyarthrites Indifferenciees Recentes early arthritis cohort, which included patients with at least two swollen joints for >6 weeks and
