Background Besides anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), rheumatoid arthritis patients (RA) often display autoantibody reactivities against other post-translationally modified (PTM) proteins, more specifically carbamylated and acetylated proteins.

Objective In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) around two-thirds of patients are autoantibody positive for rheumatoid factor, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies and/or anti-carbamylated protein antibodies.

Prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of antibodies against carbamylated proteins in a monocentric cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune rheumatic diseases [PDF]
Antibodies against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) have been recently identified in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of anti-CarP compared to ...

Evidence of Site-Specific Mucosal Autoantibody Secretion in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Objective Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have been detected in sputum and saliva, indicating that anti–modified protein antibodies (AMPA) can be produced at mucosal sites in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the body's largest mucosal compartment, the gut, has not yet been examined.

Anticarbamylated protein antibodies are associated with long-term disability and increased disease activity in patients with early inflammatory arthritis:Results from the Norfolk Arthritis Register [PDF]
Objectives: Anticarbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies are a novel family of autoantibodies recently identified in patients with inflammatory arthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate their association with long-term outcomes of disability

In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are commonly used to aid in the diagnosis. Although these autoantibodies are mainly found in RA, their specificity is not optimal.

The Clinical and Research Implications of Anti-carbamylated Protein Antibodies [PDF]
Autoantibodies play a central role in the clinical management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They can be used for diagnostic as well as prognostic purposes. For many years, autoantibody testing in RA was limited to rheumatoid factor (RF), but in the late 1990s, Schellekens and colleagues confirmed that autoantibodies reactive to citrullinated peptides ...
