Diagnostic value and clinical significance of antibodies against a modified citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) in patients with early juvenile arthritis

چکیده
Patients and methods: 85 pts were included in the study (M/F = 36/49) in the age of 1,5–16 years (mean 8.7 ± 4.9 years). Systemic JA – 10 pts (11.8%), poly – 37 (43.5%), oligo-38 (44.7%). Duration of disease was < 6 months. We studied also 54 pts with early RA, 28 pts with undifferentiated arthritis (UA) and 14 healthy children. Anti-MCV was measured in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the cut off value of 25 U/ml. IgM RF and hsCRP-by laser-nephelometry assay on BN-100 analyser.

Diagnostic value of antibodies against a modified citrullinated vimentin in rheumatoid arthritis
Antibodies directed against citrullinated vimentin are members of the family of autoantibodies reactive with citrullinated proteins and are among the most specific serological markers for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was performed to test the diagnostic value of a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies against a geneti...

In the last years, the detection of antibodies (Abs) against citrullinated peptides (ACPA) has largely replaced rheumatoid factor (RF) as the most helpful biomarker in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Current assays detect ACPA reactivity with epitopes on various different citrullinated proteins. Among these, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) Abs have been widely demonstrated t...

INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to investigate the association between arthritic disease activity and antibodies to mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV), because such a relation has been suggested. METHODS Anti-MCV levels were measured in 162 patients with early arthritis (123 with rheumatoid arthritis and 39 with undifferentiated arthritis) at baseline and at 1 and 2 years of foll...

Abstract Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis, (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with a progressive course requiring early diagnosis and treatment. The value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (Anti-CCP) in the diagnosis of RA has been shown in several studies. The present study was designed to determine and compare the diagnostic value of Anti-CCP and rheumatoid fac...

INTRODUCTION Autoantibodies against mutated and citrullinated vimentin (MCV) represent a novel diagnostic marker for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recently, an increased sensitivity for anti-MCV compared to autoantibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP2) was shown in cohorts of patients with early RA and established disease.The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a point...
