Diagnostic effectiveness of anti-citrullinated peptides antibodies of second and third generations for rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antibodies against citrullinated peptides, which are one of the indicators for the diagnosis of a disease.

ObjectivesRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with HLA-DRB1 genes encoding the shared epitope (SE), a 5-amino acid motive. RA is usually preceded by the emergence of anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPAs). Citrulline is a neutral amino

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.

Background Several studies have noted the significance of measuring anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as an important indicator for destructive disease, as is the case in rheumatoid arthritis (RA ...

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

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 ...

Interaction between extracellular matrix molecules and microbial pathogens: evidence for the missing link in autoimmunity with rheumatoid arthritis as a disease model. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation followed by tissue rebuilding or fibrosis. A failure by the body to regulate inflammation effectively is one of the hallmarks of RA.
