The given study is to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels and disease activity.

This study also showed the relationship between absolute numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets, autoantibodies, and associated cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
