Identification of potential autoantigens in anti-CCP-positive and anti-CCP-negative rheumatoid arthritis using citrulline-specific protein arrays. [PDF]
AbstractThe presence or absence of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) distinguishes two main groups of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with different etiologies, prognoses, disease severities, and, presumably, disease pathogenesis.

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factor in leprosy patients with articular involvement [PDF]
The objective of the present research was to evaluate the usefulness of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies and the IgM rheumatoid factor (IgM RF) test for the differential diagnosis of leprosy with articular involvement and ...

Relation Between Anti-CCP Antibodies and Sharp Score in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, systemic rheumatic disease, very complex, with many different forms, progressive course, with pronounced changes in the joints, still unknown etiology and poorly understood pathology. Assessing of structural change can be done with proposed scores which observe changes on wrist and wrist joints, as ...

Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA): diagnostic performance of automated anti-CCP-2 and anti-CCP-3 antibodies assays. [PDF]
This study compares the diagnostic performance of a second generation anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP2) with a third generation anti-CCP antibodies assay (CCP3), as well as the combination of both tests. Serum samples of 127 patients were analyzed.

HLA-B*44 is associated with a more than twentyfold increase in cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody serum level in Croatian patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]
ObjectivesTo determine whether any of the HLA-A*, HLA-B* and HLA-DR* alleles in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be associated with the extreme serum levels of rheumatoid factor (RF) and cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP ...

Anti‐CCP: History and its Usefulness [PDF]
Antibodies directed to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti‐CCP) are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and can easily be detected in sera by using commercially available immunoassays. The second version of the anti‐CCP test (anti‐CCP2) demonstrated high specificity (89‐98%) and good sensitivity (41‐88%)
