Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rheumatoid arthritis joints are infiltrated by numerous T cells. These T cells coexist in close proximity to HLA class I and class II bearing accessory cells. A great proportion of the rheumatoid T cells are activated in vivo as shown by their microscopic appearance, expression of surface activation antigens, spontaneous proliferation and their spontaneous production and consumption of interleukin-2 (IL-2). T cells from the rheumatoid lesions also express high levels of mRNA for IL2, for IL-2-receptor and for other mediators. The expression of IL2-receptors by activated synovial T cells make it easy to propagate them in IL-2 containing media which is the basis for the subsequent development of T cell clones. The rheumatoid T cells are hypo-responsive after stimulation with antigens and anti-CD3 antibodies which indicate that the CD3-TCR complex has been modulated in vivo. © 1988 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
