Vaccine Against Rheumatoid Arthritis

At first they thought there was a specific protein that was causing or exacerbating the disease. But when they knocked out the production of that protein, the disease appeared where it wasn't before or got worse if already present. Then they developed a vaccine that worked against antibodies that depleted the protein. The vaccine kept arthritis from appearing and reduced it when it was already present.
