Increased survival of unstimulated CD154 + CD4+ T cells in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient(pt)s compared to the healthy (H) twin. Increased survival of antigen‐activated T cells in the DR4+ RA twin after the stimulation with the T cell epitopes, especially with the native T cell epitope (T261‐273). Stimulating peptides include native (T261‐273) and carbamylated (carT261‐273) T cell epitopes and the combinations with native (B359‐369) or citrullinated (citB359‐369) B cell epitopes, respectively.
