Viral citrullinated peptides and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to an antigenically effective peptide comprising, from the amino to the carboxylic terminal, the amino acid sequence: G P P W W P P I C D P P Q P S K T Q G Q S X G Q S X G X G X G X G X G X G K G K S X D K Q X K P G G P W X P E P (SEQ ID No. 1 ), wherein the amino acids X-X are selected independently from an arginine residue or a citrulline residue and at least one of X-X is a citrulline residue, or a functional fragment thereof and uses thereof.
