The investigation of the plasma level of adhesion molecules in patients with rheumatoid ar-thritis revealed that the values of a number of adhesins became normal during leflunomide therapy, especially if effective. The favorable response to treatment was associated with the high baseline blood levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, which is the basis for using them as predictors of successful therapy.
