Abstract

The DRB1 locus is strongly associated with both susceptibility and resistance to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DRB1 alleles encoding the VKA or VRA epitope in positions 11, 71 and 74 confer the highest risk of developing RA, while the allele encoding VEA is protective. We therefore investigated the feasibility of creating antigen-specific tolerance without inducing alloreactivity by replacing lysine with glutamic acid at position 71 in DRβ1*04:01.
