Aberrant Regulation of Interleukin 18 Binding Protein A (IL-18BPa) by IL-18BPa Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

65 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, 22 Osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and 40 sex and age matched healthy donors were enrolled in this study.

Synovial fluids mononuclear cells (SFMC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were prepared by using Ficoll-Hypaque separation procedure.
Autoantibodies

Super Array analysis was used to measure the expression profile of immune-related genes in RA synovial tissues (RA-ST) and in normal PBMC treated with recombinant human IL-18 binding protein a (IL-18BPa).
