The possibility that lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) might be sensitized to RA synovial cell antigens was investigated with a 51Cr release cytotoxicity assay. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from rheumatoid and normal donors were tested for cytotoxic activity against their own synovial cells and against allogeneic rheumatoid and nonrhemuatoid synovial cells. In the allogeneic studies, the degree of cytotoxicity was significantly influenced by the age in culture (passage number) of the synovial target cells (P less than 0.001). When the passage number of the target cells was considered in the analysis, rheumatoid lymphocytes were found to have greater cytotoxic activity than normal lymphocytes against young cultures (low passage number) of both RA and non-RA synovial cells (P = 0.0042). Differences in susceptibility to lysis between RA and non-RA synovial cells were more susceptible to both RA and normal lymphocyte-induced lysis than were non-RA synovial cells (P = 0.0048). No evidence of cytotoxicity was detected when lymphocytes from nine RA patients and two osteoarthritis patients were reacted against their own synovial cells. Although the data demonstrated an increased cytotoxic activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes from some RA patients against allogeneic synovial cells, the fact that this reactivity was seen against both non-RA and RA synovial cells and was not demonstrated against autologous synovial cells argues against the presence of an immunospecific response of RA lymphocytes to RA synovial cell antigens.
