Open Access Abstract The accumulation of T cells in the synovial membrane is the crucial step in the pathophysiology of the inflammatory processes characterizing juvenile idiopathic arthritis JIA . In this study we evaluated the expression and the pathogenetic role in oligoarticular JIA of a CXC chemokine involved in the directional migration of activated T cells . IFNy-inducible protein 10 CXCL10 and its receptor CXCR3. Immunochemistry with an antihuman CXCL10 showed that synovial macrophages epithelial cells and endothelial cells bear the chemokine. By flow cytometry and immunochemistry it has been shown that CXCR3 is expressed at high density by virtually all T lymphocytes isolated from synovial fluid SF and infiltrating the synovial membrane. Particularly strongly stained CXCR3 T cells can be observed close to the luminal space and in the perivascular area. Furthermore densitometric
