Peptidylarginine deiminase from Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinates human fibrinogen and α-enolase: Implications for autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis

OBJECTIVES: To investigate protein citrullination by the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) as a potential mechanism for breaking tolerance to citrullinated proteins in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Expression of endogenous citrullinated proteins was analysed by immu...
