Usefulness of anti -CCP antibodies in rheumatic diseases in Indian patients [PDF]

Indian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2009
The usefulness of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP antibodies) to identify rheumatic arthritis (RA) from other rheumatic diseases presenting with joint pain is not well studied.We aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of anti-CCP antibodies in Indian RA patients with respect to non-RA rheumatic diseases and to study ...

A Study of Correlation of Disease Severity with Antibody Titers in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is one of the most frequent autoimmune diseases in the world which affects about 1% of people. Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptides (Anti-CCP) is shown to be more specific than rheumatoid factor in the diagnosis of ...

Anti CCP antibodies in tuberculosis

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2014
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies have been considered very specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Some studies have shown that these antibodies can be positive in infectious diseases like TB, HIV, etc.Fifty patients of tuberculosis both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary were enrolled in the study from inpatient and outpatient ...

The association of anti-CCP antibodies with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

Rheumatology International, 2008
Antibodies to citrullinated proteins have been described in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and these appear to be the most specific markers of the disease. Our objective was to determine the frequency of antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCPs) in patients with RA and the association of anti-CCP antibodies with disease activity ...

Relation Between Anti-CCP Antibodies and Sharp Score in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

Materia Socio Medica, 2020
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]

Clinical Rheumatology, 2017
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.

COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Is More than Neutralizing Antibodies: A Narrative Review of Potential Beneficial and Detrimental Co-Factors

Viruses, 2021
COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) is currently under investigation for both treatment and post-exposure prophylaxis. The active component of CCP mediating improved outcome is commonly reported as specific antibodies, particularly neutralizing antibodies,
