Utility of Anti-Carbamylated Antibodies in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis in South Asian Population
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies with disease activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, stratified by Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and/or anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies ...

An autoantibody profile identified by human genome‐wide protein arrays in rheumatoid arthritis
HuProt array is a genome‐wide protein array suitable for high throughput unbiased analysis of autoantibodies against the entire human proteome without protein modifications. We performed RA autoantibody screening in 182 RA patients and 261 controls with HuProt arrays to identify the nonmodified protein antibody profile of RA, especially in ACPA ...

Studies on the role of autoantibodies and autoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis and myositis [PDF]
A major population of patients affected with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory idiopathic myopathies (IIM, collectively called myositis) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies.

A predominant involvement of the triple seropositive patients and others with rheumatoid factor in the association of smoking with rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
The major environmental risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is smoking, which according to a widely accepted model induces protein citrullination in the lungs, triggering the production of anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and RA ...

Redox Pathogenesis in Rheumatic Diseases
Despite being some of the most anecdotally well‐known roads to pathogenesis, the mechanisms governing autoimmune rheumatic diseases are not yet fully understood. The overactivation of the cellular immune system and the characteristic development of autoantibodies have been linked to oxidative stress.

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between cytokine levels and values of antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) and antibodies to carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consists of two syndromes, one autoantibody-positive and one autoantibody-negative. Existing data on the relation between age of onset and prevalence of autoantibodies were conflicting.

Repurposing of rituximab biosimilars to treat B cell mediated autoimmune diseases
B cell functions include: (A) acting as antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) through B‐cell antigen receptors (BCRs), (B) interacting with T cells via the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) and T‐cell receptors (TCRs), (C) producing autoantibodies, and (D) producing inflammatory cytokines.

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies like rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide-2 (anti-CCP2), and anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies.

Laboratory diagnostics and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis — the past and the present [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common systemic connective tissue diseases of autoimmune origin and is characterised by chronic inflammation of joints. The aetiology of this disease has not been fully understood yet.
