Antibody to Porphyromonas Gingivalis in Pre-Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis (PD) has been implicated as an etiologic risk factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an association that is speculated to be related to the…Abstract Number: 2570 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparative Analysis of Collagen-Antibody Induced Arthritis and the Arthritis Inhibitory Potential of Specific ACPA in Two Mouse Subspecies Genetically Separated about One Million Years Ago
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is believed to be induced by environmental, genetic and immunological factors. Monoclonal Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide autoantibodies (ACPA) target different citrullinated proteins years…Abstract Number: 524 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Concentrations of Antibodies to Porphyromonas Gingivalis Are Increased before Onset of Symptom of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Chronic periodontitis has been considered as an important determinant in both occurrence and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been hypothesized that citrullination…Abstract Number: 2584 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prediction of Disease Relapses By Multi-Biomarker Disease Test Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Tapering DMARD Treatment
Background/Purpose: To analyze the role of multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) in predicting disease relapses in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in sustained remission, tapering disease modifying…Abstract Number: 528 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
RA33 Challenges the Paradigm of Autoantigen Selection in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) are the autoimmune hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and can precede the onset of symptomatic disease by years. By…Abstract Number: 2590 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody and Radiographic Disease Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) positivity is associated with more rapid radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A majority of prior studies, however, have assessed…Abstract Number: 586 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Titer of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Affects the Efficacy of First Biological Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) has been an important marker in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its predictive value remains unclear; therefore, here we investigated whether…Abstract Number: 2595 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autoantibodies to Citrullinated Fibrinogen, Anti-CCP2 and Anti-MCV Antibodies in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Rapid Radiographic Progression at 1-Year
Background/Purpose: We compared the ability of anti-CCP2, anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) and anti-citrullinated fibrinogen (AhFibA) antibodies to predict 1-year rapid radiographic progression (RRP; total Sharp…Abstract Number: 786 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies Identify Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Erosive Arthritis: Analysis of a Regional Swedish Register
Background/Purpose: Articular manifestations affect a majority of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), at least at some time during the disease course. Several investigators have…Abstract Number: 2597 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fine Specificity of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies Is Associated with Left Ventricular Mass Index in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients without Cardiovascular Disease
Background/Purpose: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of excess deaths in RA. We previously found an association between left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and…Abstract Number: 964 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Are Not Only Targets for ACPA-Positive IgG from Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients but Also Directly Trigger Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Effects Partly Mediated By the C1q Complement Protein
Background/Purpose: Activated neutrophils (PMN) form neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Those structures are expelled chromatin fibers composed of DNA and associated proteins. The process, NETosis, is…Abstract Number: 2688 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Socioeconomic Status, Ethnicity/Race, and Autoantibody Status in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Ethnic disparities in outcomes of RA patients have been attributed to delayed presentation to specialty care and access to DMARDs, greater disease burden, and…Abstract Number: 965 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Crystal Structure of Porphyromonas Gingivalis peptidylarginine Deiminase: Implications for Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are the main autoantibody system in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and due to high sensitivity and specificity testing using the anti-CCP2…Abstract Number: 2700 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Trabecular Thinning in Metacarpophalangeal Joints of Anticitrullinated Peptide Antibody Positive Patients with Arthralgia
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by synovitis leading to bone erosions and joint destruction, but little is known about bone structure in the joints…Abstract Number: 1206 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Presence of ACPA in a Large (>40.000) Population Based Cohort from the Netherlands
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) status provides important information regarding the diagnosis and prognosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). By using samples from blood bank donors…
