The 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.

Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing Citrulline-Modified Residues
BackgroundCitrullination is a post-translational protein modification linked to the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases. The detection of citrullinated proteins is predominately based on antibody detection although currently available ...

Autophagy generates citrullinated peptides in human synoviocytes: a possible trigger for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Autophagy may represent a functional processing event that creates a substrate for autoreactivity. In particular, autophagy may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA, since autophagy is a key cellular event involved in the generation of ...
