The value of anti-CarP and anti-PAD4 as markers of rheumatoid arthritis in ACPA/RF negative rheumatoid arthritis patients

Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease, 2021
Background: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are key factors in the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism rheumatoid arthritis (RA) classification criteria markers.

Antibodies to leukotoxin A from the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in patients at an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
ObjectivesPeriodontitis and underlying bacteria have been linked to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One suggested pathogen is Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.), which expresses leukotoxin A (LtxA) that can citrullinate human ...

Studies on the role of autoantibodies and autoantigens in rheumatoid arthritis and myositis [PDF]

, 2016
A major population of patients affected with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory idiopathic myopathies (IIM, collectively called myositis) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies.

Autoantibodies against citrullinated serum albumin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Journal of Translational Autoimmunity, 2019
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, potentially debilitating, inflammatory disease that primarily affects synovial joints. While the etiology of RA remains incompletely understood, it is clear that the disease is autoimmune in nature.

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]

, 2009
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.

Variable domain N-linked glycosylation and negative surface charge are key features of monoclonal ACPA: implications for B-cell selection

, 2018
Autoreactive B cells have a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and recent findings have proposed that anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) may be directly pathogenic.

CCR6+ Th cell populations distinguish ACPA positive from ACPA negative rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be separated into two major subpopulations based on the absence or presence of serum anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs).
