[Cytophotometric DNA measurements in mononuclear round cells of synovial fluid]
Abstract
Cytophotometric investigations were performed on synovial fluid mononuclear round cells in patients with various joint diseases. In nearly all instances only round cells with a diploid DNA-content were found. No increased proliferation could be observed neither in patients with rheumatoid arthritis nor in patients with a high relative number of neutrophilic granulocytes in the synovial fluid.
