The effect of methylprednisolone on proliferation of PBMCs obtained from steroid‐sensitive and steroid‐resistant rheumatoid arthritis patients

Abstract

Based on the close relationship between clinically observed GC resistance and a diminished response of PBMCs to MP treatment, we conclude that measurement of the steroid sensitivity of PBMCs may be a useful tool in predicting the therapeutic effect of GC in patients with RA.
