Differential recognition of heat‐shock protein dnaJ–derived epitopes by effector and Treg cells leads to modulation of inflammation in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
27 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify epitopes on Escherichia coli heat-shock protein (HSP) dnaJ or on homologous human HSP dnaJ involved in the induction/modulation of autoimmune inflammation in patients with oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHODS: We used a proliferation assay and cytokine production to evaluate the immune responses of synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMCs) to pan-HLA-DR binder peptides...
