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

Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Behcet's Disease
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 and IL-23p19 in psoriatic arthritis
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) are reported to be found in 5-13% of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). However, whether anti-CCP-positive PsA patients and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have a similar pathophysiological background still remains uncertain.To determine the prevalence of anti-CCP antibodies in patients ...
