<p>The invention relates to the use of novel peptides in a peptide-induced tolerance therapy for the induction of tolerance to autoaggressive T cells associated with T-cell mediated articular cartilage destruction in autoimmune diseases, more specifically arthritis. The invention furthermore embraces pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptides and a diagnostic method for the detection of autoreactive T cells in a test sample, said T cells being associated with T-cell mediated articular cartilage destruction in autoimmune diseases and test kits to be used in said method.</p> |
