Peptide epitopes recognised by antifilaggrin autoantibodies in serum from rheumatoid arthritis patients

摘要

The invention concerns peptides comprising epitopes recognised by antifilaggrin in serum from rheumatoid arthritis patients. Said epitopes comprising a tripeptide motif centred on a citrulline residue. The invention also concerns artificial antigens comprising said epitopes, and their use for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis.
