Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factor in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Citrulline and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factor in rheumatoid arthritis patients and relatives from Brazil.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies and RF in RA patients and their relatives from Southern Brazil. METHODS Anti-CCP2 and IgM-RF were evaluated in 156 RA patients and 200 relatives. Sera from 100 healthy unrelated individuals were used as control. The anti-CCP2 was detected by ELISA and the IgM-RF using the latex agglutination test....

diagnostic value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

objective: anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-ccp) antibodies are highly specific markers for rheumatoid arthritis (ra) and useful for predicting rheumatoid arthritis (ra) development and progression. we assessed the diagnostic value of anti-ccp antibodies in our patients with ra. materials and methods: anti-ccp antibodies and rheumatoid factor (rf) titers were determined in 247 serum sam...

The role of Rheumatoid Factor and Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody in Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Background: Rheumatoid Factor (RF) occurs in 7090% of patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (Anti-CCP) detection may be used to confirm the diagnosis of RA in patients with uncharacterized chronic inflammatory arthritis. This study is an attempt to evaluate the role of RF and anti-CCP in the diagnosis and prognosis of rheumatoid arthriti...
