Yes, it looks like you are correct Wild.
Worth repeating the last 2 sentences of your quote from the paper.
"Indeed, it has been shown that RA cannot be induced by T cells alone but requires joint erosion, antibody responses and inflammation. This is borne out by studies where no autoimmune symptoms were observed with T cells alone, even in HLA-DR4 transgenic mice which are susceptible to RA."
There is a lot of info in this paper and worth reading a few times.
A great deal of this paper may be as a result of the collaboration with BionTech.
"In these studies we also examined the responses to citrullinated vimentin and enolase peptides in humans and demonstrated that individuals showed a repertoire of responses to these peptides. "
In fact the word "human" appears no less than 40 times in the paper.
Another good example of how focused Scancell's reseach is and how Lindy strives to leave nothing to chance.
Many thanks both Crumbs and Wild.
