Protective and Pathogenic Antibodies to Citrullinated Antigens
ABSTRACT Autoimmune diseases start years before clinical onset. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPA) and to modified IgG (rheumatoid factors, RF) can be detected many years before the inflammatory attack on cartilaginous joints. It has been assumed that these antibodies are pathogenic.
