Sumario:Аbstract. The study concerned in vitro effects of mevastatin, in”iximab, r-met-Hu-sTNF-RI and IL-1Ra upon antigen-induced activation of EBV-speciлc CD4+T-cells from peripheral blood of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA patients were shown to have signiлcantly lower contents of antigen-activated, EBV-speciлc CD4+T-cells than healthy donors. In  healthy controls, mevastatin, in”iximab, r-met-Hu-sTNF-RI and IL-1Ra did not cause sufлcient changes in  concentrations  of  CD4+,  IFN-γ+  cells.  Likewise,  there  was  no  detectable  in”uence  of  the  abovementioned  drugs upon the numbers of RA EBV-speciлc CD4+ , IFNγ+ cells. Thus, in RA patients, the antigen-induced activation of EBVspeciлc CD4+T-cells is reduced. Meanwhile, in vitro supplement with statins and the mentioned biological agents did not promote further suppression of this cell activity. (Med. Immunol., 2011, vol. 13, N 1, pp 101-104)
