Objective, To characterize the cytokine profile of the activated T cell population derived from the synovial membrane of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods, Interleukin-% (IL-2) was used to select for in vivo-activated T cells from the synovial membrane of 2 patients with RA, and the cells were cloned nonspecifically. The cytokine production profile of these clones was compared with that of clones derived from peripheral blood monocytes (PBM) by stimulating all clones for 24 hours with immobilized anti-CD3 (coated at 10 mu g/ml) or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (10 ng/ml) plus soluble anti-CD3 (1 mu g/ml). Interferon-gamma (IFN gamma), IL-4, and IL-10, the cytokines that discriminate between Th1 and Th2 cells and are involved in immunoregulation, were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results, There was a difference in the cytokines produced by the clones derived from the rheumatoid membranes compared with clones derived from the periphery, Clones derived from both membranes and PBM were mostly IFN gamma-producers, i.e., either a Th0 or a Th1 profile, There was a high proportion of IFN gamma/high IL-10-producing cells derived from the joint, but not from the periphery, Of clones derived from the synovial membrane of each of 2 RA patients, 100% and 50% produced both 1-10 ng/ml IFN gamma and >7 ng/ml IL-10, compared with
