Synthetic peptides that inhibit binding of the collagen type II 261-273 epitope to rheumatoid arthritis-associated HLA-DR1 and -DR4 molecules and collagen-specific T-cell responses.

Copolymer 1 [Cop 1, poly (Y, E, A, K)] is a random synthetic amino acid copolymer effective in the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that is linked to HLA-DR2 (DRB1*1501). Another copolymer [poly (Y, A, K)] was also identified that binds to rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-...
