Citrullinated vimentin as an important antigen in immune complexes from synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients with antibodies against citrullinated proteins [PDF]
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease, which results in destruction of the joint. The presence of immune complexes (IC) in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients might contribute to this articular damage through different ...

Isolation of rheumatoid factors [PDF]
AbstractA method for the separation of rheumatoid factors into two serologically distinct macroglobulins is described. Macroglobulins, reacting with cells coated with human as well as with rabbit gamma globulin, were found to be mainly 19.4S, but occasionally such preparations contained minor constituents sedimenting at 22s as well as 27s ...

A case-control study of rheumatoid arthritis identifies an associated single nucleotide polymorphism in the NCF4 gene, supporting a role for the NADPH-oxidase complex in autoimmunity [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with a heritability of 60%. Genetic contributions to RA are made by multiple genes, but only a few gene associations have yet been confirmed.
