The discovery furnishes medical investigators with a new lead to the study of rheumatoid arthritis and may even provide physicians with a new technique for diagnos ing the nation's number one crippling disease. The rheumatoid factor had previously been identified, isolated and purified, but its origin had been unknown, the American Rheumatism Association meeting here was told. Formation Traced A research team, headed by Dr. Robert C. Mellors of New York's Hospital for Spe cial Surgery, Philip D. Wil son Research Foundation, has now traced the site of forma tion of the factor to two kinds of cells found in the body tissues of patients suffering from the disease. These cells are the plasma cells present in the synovial membrane that lines the joints and the '"large pale cells" of germinal centers of lymph nodes. ' Dr. Mellor pointed out' that inflammation of synovial membrane and subsequent swelling of the joints are. early pathological changes that characterize the disease, and it is in such membrane that the plasma cells are found. Swollen lymph nodes, also characteristic of rheum atoid arthritis, contain the "large pale cells." It is known that both of these cells produce immune bodies or anibodies-one of the body's defenses against infectious disease. . The significance of Dr. Mel- lor's investigation lies in the fact that the rheumatoid fac tor behaves in certain re spects like an antibody and that it is formed by cells that produce antibodies. What remains to be clari fied is whether the rheuma toid factor is in Tact an anti body and, if so, which agents or materials cause the two types of cells to produce the factor in the first place. Many researchers suspect the rheumatoid factor in several antibodies. If the rheumatoid factor has a protective purpose, then Dr. Mellor's study might pro vide a new lead in the search for the agent that is ultimate ly responsible for rheumatoid arthritis. If the factor has no antibody purpose, then its formation must be viewed as some sort of "metabolic er ror," he said. One-Dish Meal New York -WD- Aromatic acorn squash makes a one dish meal.
