This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $187,938 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the origin of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The primary objectives are to investigate the hypothesis that ACPAs may arise from antibodies targeting structurally similar carbamylated proteins, which could provide insights into why citrullinated proteins become immunogenic in RA. The research project period runs from January 9, 2025 to December 31, 2026. If successful, this work may uncover a novel mechanism for the development of RA and support further exploration of germline encoded antibodies to carbamylated proteins as potential initial factors in the disease process.
