    The article titled ‘Isolation of HLA-DR naturally presented peptides identifies T cell epitopes for rheumatoid arthritis’ reports the elution and characterisation by mass spectrometry of ‘naturally processed’ peptides from the synovial fluid and synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.1

    It uses state of the art technology to produce monocyte-derived dendritic cells and analyse the peptides associated with their Human Leucocyte Antigen DR molecules by mass spectrometry. However, the whole project is based on the a priori hypothesis that RA develops …
