## Abstract Recent evidence has pointed to the mycobacterial 65‐kDa heat‐shock protein (hsp 65) as an antigen that may be important in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

## Abstract A commonly held postulate regarding the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is that of antigenic mimicry. Recent interest has focused on the mycobacterial 65‐kDa heat‐shock protein (hsp) as a putative causal agent. The 65‐kDa hsp has over 40% sequence homology with the human hsp 60, a
