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‐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%)

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody testing is used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and associated with interstitial lung disease in RA. Herein, we investigate the relationship between anti-CCP antibody and ILD in SSc.

Anti-CCP antibodies: the past, the present and the future [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies against citrullinated antigens. The importance of citrulline for the epitopes bound by these autoantibodies, referred to as ACPA (anti-citrullinated peptide/protein antibodies), was first described in 1998.

An immunosensor was developed on an interdigitated electrode (IDE) by voltammetry sensing for the early identification of the autoimmune disease ‘rheumatoid arthritis (RA)’ by detecting the biomarker anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP).

Background The anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody is a diagnostic biomarker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, some non-RA connective tissue disease (CTD) patients also test positive for the anti-CCP antibody and, thus, may ultimately ...

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in the spondyloarthropathy group with the history of psoriasis. Although some PsA findings are similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatoid factor negativity, some radiological and clinical ...

Use and significance of anti-CCP autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
One of the most common autoimmune diseases is rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affecting 0.5–1% of the population. This systemic disease is marked by chronic inflammation of synovial joints, which leads to destruction of cartilage and bone and eventually to disability of the patient [1]. Though not directly lifethreatening, RA severely affects the quality of
