Immunomodulation of RA Patients’ PBMC with a Multiepitope Peptide Derived from Citrullinated Autoantigens

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2017
Citrullinated peptides are used for measuring anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Accumulation of citrullinated proteins in the inflamed synovium suggests that they may be good targets for inducing peripheral ...

Mechanisms of pain in autoimmunity : the role of antibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chronic pain in autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a common and life- changing problem for many patients. Treatment is usually aimed at reducing inflammation and preserving the function of affected tissues.

Asthma and elevation of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies prior to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are central to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and may develop at inflamed mucosa. We investigated whether asthma, a disease of airway mucosal inflammation, was associated with elevated ACPA ...

Epidemiological studies in Malaysia and Sweden on associations between smoking, silica exposure and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory disease, frequently associated with joint destruction. Knowledge regarding the aetiology of RA is mainly generated on Caucasian populations.

B-cell receptor sequencing of anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) IgG-expressing B cells indicates a selective advantage for the introduction of N-glycosylation sites during somatic hypermutation

open access: yesAnnals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2018
The majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) harbours IgG antibodies targeting citrullinated protein antigens (ACPA). Recently, we showed that >90% of ACPA-IgG in serum are glycosylated in the variable domain.1  N -linked glycosylation requires a consensus sequence in the protein backbone (N-X-S/T (asparagine-X-serine/threonine), where X is ...

The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) does not affect the clinical response to adalimumab in a group of RA patients with the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-308 G/G promoter polymorphism

open access: yesClinical Rheumatology, 2011
The introduction of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents has improved the outcome for many patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To date, the only replicated genetic predictor of anti-TNF response is the -308 G > A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the TNF promoter region.

Revisiting the Link Between HLA‐DRB1 Alleles and Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Association of non‐Shared Epitope Alleles *09 and *15 With High Levels of Anti–Citrullinated Peptide/Protein Antibodies

open access: yesACR Open Rheumatology
Objective Autoantibodies serve as essential clinical biomarkers and may indicate etiological mechanisms in rheumatic diseases. In light of the increasing knowledge concerning the diversity and biologic implications of anti–citrullinated peptide/protein ...
