Funded Activity Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of joints. People who get RA often develop antibodies which react against proteins found in inflamed joints. We will investigate why cells of the immune system react against these proteins in RA, and identify which joint proteins, especially abnormal proteins, are targeted. This will allow us to design new approaches to treat RA in a way that just targets the response to these abnormal proteins, rather than the entire immune system.
