Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises (a) a peptide of 8 to 20 amino acids comprising at least one citrulline residue and 13, 14 or 15 consecutive amino acids residues with a sequence present in SEQ ID NO 22 or a complex of said peptide and a human recombinant MHC class II protein, and (b) an immunologic adjuvant.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are chimeric antigen receptors (“CARs”) comprising an antigen binding site that recognizes citrullinated polypeptides. Citrullinated polypeptides, such as citrullinated vimentin, fibrinogen, and filaggrin, are expressed in the synovium of subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Further disclosed are T cells, and in particular, Treg cells, that express these CARs. Administration of these CAR-T cells is useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis as well as other diseases associated with citrullinated peptides.
