Clinical and etiological meaning of anti-carbamylated protein antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Several autoantibodies against proteins with post-translational modifications have been detected in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are called anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPAs).

From Rheumatoid Factor to Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies and Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies for Diagnosis and Prognosis Prediction in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease mainly involving synovial inflammation and articular bone destruction. RA is a heterogeneous disease with diverse clinical presentations, prognoses and therapeutic responses.

Carbamylated albumin is one of the target antigens of anti-carbamylated protein antibodies. [PDF]
Anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies are detected in RA patients. Fetal calf serum is used as an antigen source in anti-CarP ELISA, and the precise target antigens have not been found. We aimed to identify the target antigens of anti-CarP antibodies.Western blotting of anti-CarP antibodies was conducted.

Research progress on anti-carbamylated protein antibodies in connective tissue disease [PDF]
Connective tissue disease (CTD) is a group of chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by pathological changes in systemic organs and multisystems. The diagnosis of CTD mainly depends on clinical manifestations and specific autoantibodies.

Anti-carbamylated Protein Antibodies Are Detectable in Various Connective Tissue Diseases
Objective.Anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies are possible diagnostic biomarkers of anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-negative rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to elucidate the prevalence of anti-CarP antibodies in non-RA connective tissue diseases (CTD) because CTD are important in the differential diagnosis of ACPA-negative RA.

Anti-carbamylated protein antibodies as a new biomarker of erosive joint damage in systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
Background The application of more sensitive imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography (US), changed the concept of non-erosive arthritis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), underlining the need for biomarkers to identify patients developing the ...

Effect of Etanercept on Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of synovial joints and production of autoantibodies such as Rheumatoid Factor and antibodies directed against modified proteins - i.e. anti-citrullinated peptides antibody (ACPA).

Complement Activation by Post-Translationally Modified Proteins: Links to Chronic Inflammation and Autoimmunity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are essential to maintain homeostasis as many cellular processes rely on reversible PTMs. However, several PTMs, particularly irreversible PTMs in the extracellular space, can contribute to tissue dysfunction, inflammation, and may even trigger the development of autoimmunity against PTM ...
