Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Behcet's Disease

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2007
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with progressive joint destruction and disability. Early diagnosis of RA is important, since early and aggressive treatments lead to a better outcome. Circulating autoantibodies are a serological hallmark of systemic rheumatic diseases.

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2005
Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune late onset disease characterised mainly by sicca symptoms. Lymphocytic infiltrate of the minor salivary glands and the presence of autoantibodies are the hallmarks of disease.1 The spectrum of pSS extends from an organ-specific autoimmune disorder (autoimmune exocrinopathy) to a systemic process that ...

Diagnostic Utility of AxSYM Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Assay

Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2008
The presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) is one of the classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but it has a limitation of low specificity. We compared the diagnostic utility of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies analyzed by an automated immunoassay system with that measured by a

Anti-CCP-positive patients with RA have a higher 10-year probability of fracture evaluated by FRAX®: a registry study of RA with osteoporosis/fracture

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2018
Background Positive anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP+) is associated with bone loss in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, whether overall positivity or specific levels of anti-CCP are associated with prevalent fracture or a 10 ...

Real‐World Safety and Effectiveness of JAK Inhibitors in Systemic Sclerosis: A Propensity‐Matched Study From the EUSTAR Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective JAK inhibitors (JAKi) have shown promising effects in early‐phase studies of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We aimed to assess the safety and explore the effectiveness of JAKi compared to conventional immunosuppressants in SSc. Methods A longitudinal retrospective study of the European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) cohort was ...

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.
