The Association Between Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide and Anti-Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin and The Extra-articular Manifestations in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts
Background: Early detection of extra-articular symptoms [ExRA] in RA patients is crucial, and lifesaving. This study examined the relationship between Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide [Anti-CCP] and Anti-Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin [Anti-MCV ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

The prevalence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Jornal de Pediatria, 2005
OBJECTIVES: To assess the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in a cohort of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. METHODS: Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies was tested for with an enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) in serum samples of patients from the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, all less than ...

Anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in type 1 autoimmune hepatitis [PDF]

Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2005
SummaryBackground : Besides the autoantibodies included in the diagnostic criteria of type 1 autoimmune hepatitis, many other autoantibodies have been described in this condition. Recently, antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide have been validated as specific diagnostic and prognostic markers of rheumatoid arthritis.Aim : To assess whether ...

Citrullinated Antigens with Multiple Citrulline Similar Motif in the Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Preliminary Single-Center Study

Journal of Immunology Research, 2021
The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in the serum is one of the immunological features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) assay has been widely used in clinic for the diagnosis of RA.

Specificity of Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies to Citrullinated α-Enolase Peptides as a Function of Epitope Structure and Composition

Antibodies, 2021
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1–2% of the world population. In addition to the first discovered serologic markers for RA, the rheumatoid factors (RFs), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are even ...

The Diagnostic Utility of Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies, Matrix Metalloproteinase-3, Rheumatoid Factor, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Erosive and Non-erosive Rheumatoid Arthritis

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2005
Objective: To compare the diagnostic utility of laboratory variables, including matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies, rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

Abatacept reduces disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis independently of modulating anti-citrullinated peptide antibody production

Immunological Medicine, 2020
Abatacept may exert its clinical effect on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody production. This study was undertaken to test this hypothesis by examining the changes of disease activity of RA and anti-
