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 ...

OP0178 Antibodies against Carbamylated Proteins (ANTI-CARP), A New Type of Autoantibody, in Spanish Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Background Antibodies against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) are a new type of autoantibodies present in sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These antibodies, measured as the reactivity against carmabylated proteins from Fetal Calf Serum (FCS), do not show cross-reactivity with anti-CCP antibodies, and are associated with radiologic ...

A5.4 Anti Carbamylated Protein Antibodies (Anti-CarP) Are Present in Arthralgia Patients and Predict the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]
Background/Objective Recently, we discovered a new auto- antibody system in rheumatoid arthritis (RA): anti carbamylated protein antibodies (anti-CarP). These antibodies have additional prognostic value in predicting joint destruction when compared to anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA).

Localization of α-synuclein in teleost central nervous system: immunohistochemical and Western blot evidence by 3D5 monoclonal antibody in the common carp, Cyprinus carpio [PDF]
Alpha synuclein (α-syn) is a 140 amino acid vertebrate-specific protein, highly expressed in the human nervous system and abnormally accumulated in Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, known as synucleinopathies.

AB1170 Prevalence of anti-carp antibodies in patients with primary sjÖgren's syndrome: association with clinical, serological and histological aspects [PDF]
Background The presence of antibodies against carbamylated peptides (anti-CarP) has been associated with increased disease activity and severe joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis. Our group has demonstrated their presence also in other inflammatory conditions with a high prevalence in Sjogren9s Syndrome (SS) (14/45, 31.1%)1.

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.

A glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored carbonic anhydrase-related protein of Toxoplasma gondii is important for rhoptry biogenesis and virulence [PDF]
Carbonic anhydrase-related proteins (CARPs) have previously been described as catalytically inactive proteins closely related to α-carbonic anhydrases (α-CAs).

Identification of an essential virulence gene of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 [PDF]
The genus Cyprinivirus consists of a growing list of phylogenetically related viruses, some of which cause severe economic losses to the aquaculture industry. The archetypal member, cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) causes mass mortalities worldwide in koi

In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients there is a lack of markers that predict severe disease. Although anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have contributed substantially to the understanding of rheumatoid arthritis (RA),1 their detection in JIA has not been equally useful as incidence rates in JIA patients are low2 and merely confined
