    Abstract

    Background: Synovial fluid (SF) is a potential source of novel biomarkers formany arthritic disorders involving joint inflammation, including Juvenile IdiopathicArthritis (JIA). We first compared the distinctive protein expression patterns of localjoint inflammation in SF with systemic profiles within matched plasma samples.Preliminary investigations were performed into whether local or systemic proteome‘fingerprints’ could distinguish between oligoarticular, extended oligoarticular andpolyarticular forms of this chronic juvenile disease.Methods: In this study we analysed matched SF and plasma samples obtainedfrom 10 newly diagnosed JIA patients (
