Does information on novel identified autoantibodies contribute to predicting the progression from undifferentiated arthritis to rheumatoid arthritis: a study on anti-CarP antibodies as an example [PDF]
Background The presence of autoantibodies is considered an important characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); therefore, both anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are included in the 2010 classification criteria for ...

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 ...

Association of circulating levels of anti-CarP antibodies with disease activity, disability and radiological damage in rheumatoid arthritis patients: an open-label, observational study [PDF]
Autoantibodies directed against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) have been recently identified as predictors for RA development. The aim of this study was to determine the positivity of anti-CarP antibodies in a real-life cohort of RA patients and their

Association between antibodies to carbamylated proteins and subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients carry a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The excess of cardiovascular disease cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors and the immune system contributes to the development ...

Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies as a Reproducible Independent Type of Rheumatoid Arthritis Autoantibodies. [PDF]
A large fraction of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop specific autoantibodies, which until recently were only of two types, rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA).

Interactions between rheumatoid arthritis antibodies are associated with the response to anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy [PDF]
Background Blocking of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) activity is a successful therapeutic approach for 50–60% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, there are yet no biomarkers to stratify patients for anti-TNF therapy.
