Chapter 2 reports a family study in which we studied whether “DERAA”-containing HLA-DRB1 alleles protect against the development of rheumatoid arthritis not only when the alleles

If non-inherited “DERAA”-containing HLA-DRB1 alleles of the mother protect the child to RA development, it is expected that the frequency of mothers of RA patients bearing

Maternal microchimerism has been shown in mice to induce neonatal B cell (26) and probably also T cell (27) tolerance and is therefore one of the possible mechanisms for NIMA

To analyze whether the citrullinated peptides recognized by T cells can be naturally processed and presented from the entire vimentin protein, we next tested the reactivity of

Given the findings of this study we conclude that (i) testing for the PTPN22 C1858T- polymorphism in ACPA-positive UA-patients does not significantly improve prediction of

In conclusion, a polymorphism in the CD40 locus shows a significant association with the rate of joint destruction in ACPA-positive RA, a finding that is replicated in an

The mechanism by which the “DERAA”-containing HLA-DRB1 alleles influence the susceptibility to and the severity of RA is unknown, but it has been proposed that it is mediated by
