The effects of lymphoplasmapheresis on immunologic indices, including T cell subsets, and
on clinical parameters of rheumatoid arthritis were evaluated in a controlled double‐blind …

Abstract Eight patients with Functional Class III. seropositive, erosive rheumatoid arthritis
unresponsive to remittive drugs each underwent nine aphereses over 3 weeks. Four had a …

The antirheumatic effects of lymphocyte depletion in rheumatoid arthritis were confirmed in a

We attempted to determine whether various cytokine levels in the serum and synovial fluid
(SF) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are influenced by the performance of filtration …

Six patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) have been treated with lymphocytapheresis after
