Mast cells in rheumatoid synovial tissue wًith electron microscopy

الملخص EN

Objective : the aim of this study was to search for the presence of mast cells in the synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with electron microscopy in a trial to understand the pathogenesis of the disease. Material and Methods : synovial tissues were obtained from 10 RA patients.

The presence of mast cells was examined with electron microscopy. Results : the presence of mast cells was not demonstrated in the synovial tissues of RA with electron microscopy. Conclusion : electron microscopy is not a suitable method for demonstrating the presence of mast cells in the synovial tissue of RA patients.
