Abstract

Defective activation of T cell receptor-proximal signaling proteins, such as the small GTPase Rap1, is thought to contribute to the pathologic behavior of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial T cells. This study was undertaken to determine whether maintaining Rap1 signaling in murine T cells modifies disease onset or severity in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
