Natural' drug could offer long-lasting arthritis relief by 'rebooting' immune system
  • Researchers developed protein modelled on the body's own defences
  • Protein is body's normal anti-inflammatory response
  • Insufficient quantities found in the joints of those with rheumatoid arthritis

Researchers from King’s College London and clinicians from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, are to start the first human trial of BiP – binding immunoglobulin protein – involving up to 50 patients.
The protein is part of the body’s normal anti-inflammatory response, but it is found in insufficient quantities in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis to have a therapeutic effect.
Previous work by the team indicates that giving an intravenous dose will quickly boost a patient’s anti-inflammatory response.
A single infusion appears to ‘reset’ their immune system and may give a long lasting effect.
