Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.

Linking Skin and Joint Inflammation in Psoriatic Arthritis through Shared CD8+ T Cell Clones

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an HLA class I–associated inflammatory arthritis that develops in up to 30% of people with psoriasis. We tested the hypothesis that skin and joint inflammation in PsA is linked in terms of CD8+ T cell phenotype and clonality.

A Tolerogenic Plasmid Inhibits Autoantibody Production Triggered by Immunization With Human Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 4

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually preceded and likely mediated by autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) that recognize citrulline residues on multiple proteins. Conversion of arginine into citrulline is performed by enzymes called peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs). We have previously demonstrated that the human PAD4 (hPAD4) is

Comparative Effectiveness of Abatacept Versus Adalimumab in Shared Epitope Positive and Negative Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The effect of the shared epitope (SE) and valine at position 11 (Val11) of HLA–DRB1 on the activation of CD4+ T cells is expected to be diminished by abatacept, a costimulation blocker. However, published evidence on the value of genetic stratification for abatacept treatment is conflicting. We aimed to compare the difference in effectiveness

Is there a link between economic outcomes and genetic evolution? Cross-country evidence from the major histocompatibility complex [PDF]

open access: yes
This research develops a theory and presents empirical evidence of a link between economicoutcomes and genetic evolution. Important properties for successful analysis of such a link arefound in the adaptive immune system and particularly in the major ...
