The importance of the t cell in initiating and maintaining the chronic synovitis of rheumatoid arthritis

Panayi, G. S., Lanchbury, J. S., Kingsley, G. H.·1992·Arthritis & Rheumatism

Abstract

We hope that this short review has produced convincing, although indirect, evidence that in the case of rheumatoid synovitis, the T cell is the conductor of an orchestra playing a tune written by an antigen-presenting cell. The tune develops and becomes modified with time, so that it is difficult to discern with clarity much of the original melody. We believe that it may be possible to substitute a new score that will bring this symphony to a harmonious end. We also strongly believe that this is preferable to augmenting the string section or suppressing the percussion section of the orchestra in the vain hope that in the end harmony can be achieved. The final musical analogy must be the hope that the first page of the score can be found, so that we may discover the main theme, the leitmotif, of the rheumatoid-specific antigenic peptide.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
