Differences in synovial tissue infiltrates between anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide–positive rheumatoid arthritis and anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide–negative rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2007 AbstractObjectiveTo compare synovial tissue infiltrates from patients with anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP)–positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with those from patients with anti‐CCP–negative RA.MethodsSynovial tissue samples were obtained arthroscopically from the inflamed knee joints of 57 patients with RA (34 of whom were anti‐CCP ...

Serum Autoantibody Biomarkers for Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease
Biosensors, 2023 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that is characterized by the destruction of bone and production of autoantibodies such as rheumatoid factor (RF) and anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs).

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 ...

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2008 The classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increasingly important as new therapies can halt the disease in its early stages. Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) are widely used for RA diagnosis, but are not in the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Criteria for RA Classification.
