To quantitate RF synthesis in the rheumatoid synovial membrane, 12 synovial specimens were obtained from patients with seropositive RA, 5 from patients with seronegative RA, and 6 from patients with other arthritides. Single cell suspensions were cultured, and supernatants were analyzed for IgG, IgM, IgG\u2010RF, and IgM\u2010RF by solidphase radioimmunoassays. IgM\u2010RF was detected in all of the 12 seropositive culture supernatants, and IgG\u2010RF was detected in 8 of the 12. Addition of cycloheximide to the cultures resulted in a \u2a7e40% decrease in the amount of IgM\u2010RF. A similar decrease in IgG\u2010RF occurred in the 4 cultures in which the largest amounts of IgG\u2010RF were detected. IgM\u2010RF synthesis represented 7.3 \u00b1 0.7% (mean \u00b1 SEM) of the total IgM produced, and IgG\u2010RF represented 2.6 \u00b1 1.1% (mean \u00b1 SEM) of the IgG synthesized in those cultures with detectable IgG\u2010RF. Cultures of synovial membrane cells (SMC) from seronegative RA patients or patients with other arthritides did not contain detectable amounts of IgM\u2010RF or IgG\u2010RF. Selective synthesis of RF by seropositive synovium was suggested by the observation that the fractions of synthesized IgM with RF activity were greater in the SMC supernatants than in paired sera in all cases, and the fractions of IgG with RF activity were greater in the SMC supernatants of 3 of the 4 cases in which substantial amounts of IgG\u2010RF were produced. Comparison of the percentages of newly synthesized IgM with RF activity in paired cultures of SMC and peripheral blood mononuclear cells similarly indicated selective synthesis of IgM\u2010RF by the synovium. These results demonstrate active and selective synthesis of both IgG\u2010RF and IgM\u2010RF by seropositive SMC. However, RFs account for only a minor fraction of the total Ig produced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780280704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,14]],"date-time":"2007-02-14T20:55:40Z","timestamp":1171486540000},"page":"742-752","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["IgG
