MRI-detected osteitis is not associated with the presence or level of ACPA alone, but with the combined presence of ACPA and RF [PDF]
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) bone marrow edema (BME, osteitis) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are associated with radiographic progression. ACPA have been associated with BME, but it is unknown if this association is confined to ACPA and BME.

Autoantikörper und die autoreaktive Immunantwort: ACPA sind mehr als nur ACPA [PDF]
The immune response against posttranslationally modified (PTM) antigens, in particular the generation of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), is a very specific hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis. The factors that initiate this immune response and

We developed a fast, aqueous one‐pot synthesis for PEDOT:PSTFSI, combining sequential reversible addition–fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT) and oxidative polymerization. This method eliminates toxic solvents and purification steps, achieving full monomer conversion in under 3 h.

IntroductionThe relation between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) has been investigated ever since the discovery of the citrullinating enzyme peptidyl arginine deaminase presents in the oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Activities of the endocannabinoid system are believed to be substantially involved in psychostimulant and opioid addiction. Nevertheless, interactions between cannabinoid and opioid systems are not yet fully understood. Thus, the aim of the present study

Autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins: ACPA
Anti-perinuclear factor and anti-keratin antibodies have long been known to be specifically associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They were first demonstrated to target various forms of (pro)filaggrin, a protein of stratified epithelia. Then, they were found to belong to a single family of autoantibodies targeting proteins that bear peptidic ...

Association between inflammatory cytokines and immune-checkpoint molecule in rheumatoid arthritis.
BackgroundAnti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and inflammatory cytokines play important roles in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM-3) is an immune-checkpoint molecule involved ...

Analysis of ACPA positivity and ACPA fine specificities in a large Swedish twin cohort (TwinGene) [PDF]
Backgroundand objectives Genetic factors play a significant role in the variance of susceptibility for anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA)-positive RA (Woude et al 2009). The authors wanted to study ACPA positivity as an entity and aimed to investigate the influence of genetic and environmental factors for ACPA positivity using a twin study ...

Background Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPA) are important biomarkers for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, there is poor harmonisation of RF and ACPA assays.

A genome-wide association study suggests contrasting associations in ACPA-positive versus ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be divided into two major subsets based on the presence or absence of antibodies to citrullinated peptide antigens (ACPA).
