Scientists in the UK are hoping to develop a new vaccine using patients' own blood cells to suppress the effects of rheumatoid arthritis; if successful the work will signal a major breakthrough in the treatment of the auto-immune disease. Newcastle University's Musculoskeletal Research Group is to carry out the research, which is being funded by a 216,000 pound grant from the medical research charity the Arthritis Research Campaign.
