Open Access Abstract Significant levels of circulating immune complexes ICs containing rheumatoid factors and immunoglobulin G in peripheral blood are a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis RA . ICs interact through Fcy receptors FcyR to activate phagocytes in numerous inflammatory processes. The high concentration of neutrophils in synovial fluid during active phases of the disease together with their destructive capacity pose important questions as to their role in the pathogenesis of RA. Functional defects in RA or control peripheral blood neutrophil FcyRs were examined with a specific FcyR-mediated reactive oxygen species ROS assay. Heterologous cross linking of FcyRIIa and FcyRIIIb on neutrophils resulted in a .
