Surface expression of CXCR4, CXCR5, CXCR7 and CCR6 on memory (CD27+) and naïve (CD27) B cells from PB and SF of patients with arthritis. Mononuclear cells isolated from PB and SF labeled with a combination of three fluorochrome-conjugated mAbs and analyzed by flow cytometry. Surface expression of chemokine receptors studied in CD27+ and CD27 in CD20+ cells from PB (considered 100%) and SF in patients with RA. Data expressed as mean ± SE of rMFI from seven independent experiments compared to PB expression of each chemokine receptor, considered 100%. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by t test for paired samples. rMFI relative mean fluorescence intensity, PB peripheral blood, SF synovial fluid
