Abstract
Although advances have been mode in our understanding of the mechanism s of tolerance to soluble and membrane-bound protein, little is known about immune responses to tissue matrix. Here, Vivianne Malmstrom and colleagues discuss immune responses to collagen type II, and how such tolerance is maintained or broken,giving rise to chronic autoimmune ar thritis.
