Extended Data Table 2. Clinical characteristics of evaluated patients.

Synovial tissue samples from patients 1-6 were used for mass and flow cytometry phenotyping. Samples from patients 7-10 were also included in flow cytometry phenotyping. Average ± SD shown. Parentheses indicate percentage of patients. Other biologics include abatacept, rituximab, tocilizumab, and tofacitinib.
