Shown is the correlation between serum levels of soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR) and levels released by isolated T cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n = 58). Spearman correlation coefficients are shown. P < 0.0001 for all correlations. sTNF-RI, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I; sTNF-RII, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II.
