Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the activation of T and B cell clones specific for self-antigens leads to the chronic inflammation of the synovium. Here, we perform an in-depth quantitative analysis of the seven chains that comprise the adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) in RA. RESULTS: In comparison to controls, we show that RA patients have multiple and strong differences in the B cell...
