Brief description This project will determine whether activated protein C (APC) reduces the severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by altering the abnormal response of a type of white blood cells known as the T cells. Experiments will utilise T cells isolated from patients with RA, normal controls and an animal model of RA, to examine a newly discovered immune pathway now thought to play a major role in causing RA. The results will help clarify whether and how APC prevents joint destruction in RA
