Impaired TCR Signaling Paves the Way for Cytokine Hyper-Responsiveness in Arthritogenic T Cells
Background/Purpose: The inability to identify relevant arthritogenic CD4 T cells in patients and in murine disease models has limited our understanding of disease initiating events…Abstract Number: 834 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Citrulline-Polyspecific B Cell Antigen Receptors Arising from Somatic Hypermutation within Clades Demonstrate Pathogenicity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Citrulline–modified proteins arising from the post-translational modification of arginine residues are recognized as primary rheumatoid arthritis (RA) autoantigen targets based on the strong association…Abstract Number: 951 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cross Sectional Analysis of Citrullinated-Synovial Antigen-Specific CD4+ T Cells in an RA Cohort Demonstrates Antigen Based Differences in T Cell Frequency, Phenotype and the Influence of Immunotherapy
Background/Purpose: The presence of ACPA in RA indicates that an immune response directed toward citrullinated synovial antigens participates in disease development or persistence. Research from…Abstract Number: 3022 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autoantibodies to Peptidylarginine Deiminase 2 Protect Against Radiographic Progression in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The mechanisms that drive clinical heterogeneity and outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are poorly understood, but precise biomarkers may identify clinically unique…Abstract Number: 1946 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel HLA-DRB1*10:01 Restricted T Cell Epitope from Citrullinated Type II Collagen Relevant for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies against citrullinated collagen type II (Cit-CII) are common in sera and synovial fluids of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, whereas the known CII T-cell…
