5NI9, 5NIG - PubMed Abstract: 
ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with distinct HLA-DR alleles and immune responses to many citrullinated self-antigens. Herein we investigated the T cell epitope confined within α-enolase 326-340 in the context of HLA-DRB1*04:01 and assessed the corresponding CD4 + T cells in both the circulation and in the rheumatic joint ...
