ObjectiveTo examine the possibility that CXCL16 recruits endothelial cells (ECs) to developing neovasculature in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium.
MethodsWe utilized the RA synovial tissue SCID mouse chimera system to examine human microvascular EC (HMVEC) and human endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) recruitment into engrafted human synovium that was injected intragraft with CXCL16‐immunodepleted...
ObjectiveTo better define the activity of soluble CXCL16 in the recruitment of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in vivo, utilizing a novel animal model of gout involving engraftment of SCID mice with normal human synovial tissue (ST) injected intragraft with gouty human synovial fluid (SF).
MethodsFor in vitro studies, a modified Boyden chemotaxis system was used to identify CXCL16 as an active...
