Pathogenic Citrulline‐Multispecific B Cell Receptor Clades in Rheumatoid Arthritis
21 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) have proven highly useful as biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, composition and functionality of the associated autoreactive B cell repertoire have not been directly assessed. We aimed to selectively investigate citrullinated autoantigen-specific B cell receptors (BCRs) involved in RA and initiate studies on their pathogenicity. METHODS:...
