- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>(1) the percentage of the total TCR repertoire representing dominantly expanded<br /><br>T-cell clones,<br /><br>(2) the number of circulating lymphocytes subsets and monocytes,<br /><br>(3) the number of cell divisions during T-cell supression assays.<br /><br>These paramters will be compared between groups of patients with active disease<br /><br>and patients without active disease. In individual patients these parameters<br /><br>will be compared during different states of disease activity.</p><br>
