Abstract
Lymphocyte populations in the synovial membranes of dogs with canine rheumatoid arthritis (CRA) were investigated by immunohistochemical staining techniques. T-lymphocytes were the predominant cell type distributed throughout the supporting layer of the synovial membranes. B-lymphocytes expressing IgG were seen far more commonly than those expressing either IgA or IgM. Synovial membrane biopsies from normal and osteoarthritic joints did not have the marked cellular infiltrates seen in joints with CRA. The synovial immunohistopathological features in dogs with CRA are similar to those seen in human rheumatoid arthritis.
