Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Frequency in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Effect of Presence of Systemic Disease

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Objective: Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may show a variety of rheumatic symptoms and signs. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) is widely used as as a marker, particularly for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and may be ...

Pathogenic Role of Circulating Citrullinated Antigens and Anti-Cyclic Monoclonal Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
We examined whether it is possible to directly detect citrullinated antigens in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using a monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to be specific for citrullinated peptides. In order to confirm the potential of the

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 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 ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps in inflammatory disorders [PDF]

, 2014
A novel feature of polymorphonuclear granulocyte (PMN) biology is their ability to generate neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) via a distinct process of cell death termed NETosis.

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-
