Patients with rheumatoid arthritis were examined for cellular sensitivity to native human types I, II and III collagens. Mononuclear cells from 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 21 with other inflammatory arthritides, 20 with osteoarthritis and 20 normal subjects were evaluated for the in vitro production of leukocyte inhibitory factor in response to collagen and a control antigen, streptokinase-streptodornase. By this assay, cells from 37 (74%) and 39 (78%) of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis responded to types II and III collagens, respectively. Cells from the 41 patients with other kinds of arthritis and the normal group did not produce this lymphokine to collagens. There was no response to type I collagen or to denatured .alpha.-chains of these collagens. All 4 groups responded equivalently to streptokinase-streptodornase. Most patients with rheumatoid arthritis exhibit cellular sensitivity to types II and III collagens.
