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 ...
