FIG. 4.
Synovial fluid samples from patients 11, 16, and 22 were analyzed by 2D-PAGE and silver staining as described in Materials and Methods. Selected acute-phase protein spots were quantified by densitometry of the scanned gels. Values for each protein level were plotted as ratios of the day 0 value along with clinical parameters (physician's global assessment [PGA], ESR, and CRP in blood).
