Branch-specific sialylation of IgG-Fc glycans by ST6Gal-I.

18 Oct 2009 Sialylated forms of the Fc fragment of immunoglobulin G, produced by the human alpha2-6 sialyltransferase ST6Gal-I, were identified as potent anti-inflammatory mediators in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis and are potentially the active ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Arthritis, Rheumatoid'

Definition: A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated.
