Novel Interaction between Anti-Citrulline Monoclonal Antibodies and Apoptotic Cells Is Mediated through Citrullinated Nuclear Antigens
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) display broad cross-reactivities and target proteins including a-enolase, filaggrin, vimentin, fibrinogen, and histones. However, every monoclonal ACPA has a distinct…Abstract Number: 477 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Monoclonal ACPA-IgG Feature Extensive Fab Glycosylation
Background/Purpose: Fab-glycosylation is found in ~15-25% serum IgG and while its exact consequence remains unknown, it may alter IgG functionality. Recent data revealed elevated Fab-glycosylation…Abstract Number: 481 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immunocompetent Cells Expressing Citrullinated Proteins in Joint Synovium of Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Human monoclonal ACPA (Human-ACPA) is reported to strongly bind to synovium in RA patients [1]. The aims of our study were 1) To investigate…Abstract Number: 483 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Peptidylarginine Deiminase-4 Antibodies Are Present in the Sputum of RA Patients and Can Activate Peptidylarginine Deiminase-4 Enzyme Activity
Background/Purpose: Anti-peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)-4 antibodies (Abs) are present in a portion of RA patients and associate with more severe joint disease, suggesting that they play…Abstract Number: 1033 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Burden of Illness in Patients with RA and Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Positivity
Background/Purpose: RA is often treated with a biologic DMARD (bDMARD), such as abatacept (ABA) or a TNF inhibitor (TNFi). Real-world data on how economic outcomes…Abstract Number: 1034 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Presence of Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies Is Associated with Better Treatment Response to Abatacept but Not to TNF Inhibitors in Patients with RA: A Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: The association between anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) status and erosions, as well as response to TNF inhibitor (TNFi) treatment, has been explored.1,2 Results based…Abstract Number: 1402 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
In RA, Becoming Seronegative over the 1st Year of DMARD Treatment Does Not Improve Chances of Drug-Free Remission in the Long-Term
Background/Purpose: Patients with RA harbor autoantibodies of various isotypes and directed against several post-translational modifications. Baseline seropositivity is a poor prognostic factor for sustained drug-free…Abstract Number: 2914 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Antibody Levels Are Elevated in Cervicovaginal Fluid in Association with Local Inflammation in Premenopausal Women without RA
Background/Purpose: Data support that anti-CCP antibodies likely originate at a mucosal site prior to the onset of inflammatory arthritis (IA) in the development of RA.…Abstract Number: 2916 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Presence of a Large Number of Autoantibodies at Baseline Is Favourable for Early Treatment Response but Unfavourable for Drug-Free Remission in RA Patients
Background/Purpose: The autoantibody response of seropositive RA is very diverse and consists of various numbers of isotypes and antibodies to multiple post-translational modifications. It is…Abstract Number: 2117 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
B Cell Phenotype and in Vitro Function in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Developing Low Serum Immunoglobulins after Multiple Cycles of Rituximab
Background/Purpose: Repeat treatment with rituximab (RTX) predisposes some patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to develop low levels of serum immunoglobulins (Igs). Understanding B cell function…Abstract Number: 2416 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies to Citrullinated Peptides in Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Shared Expression of the Inherently Autoreactive 9G4 Idiotype
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid factor (RF) positive polyarticular JIA (RF+ve pJIA) frequently progresses into adulthood with a clinical phenotype that ressembles rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antibodies to cyclic…Abstract Number: 2608 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Antibody Titers Decrease with Altered B-Cell Subpopulation in RA Patients Treated with Tocilizumab
Background/Purpose: Consecutive RA patients who initiated treatment with TCZ between December 2013 and September 2015 were enrolled in our prospective study. All patients met 2010…Abstract Number: 494 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sensitivity and Specificity of 14-3-3η, Anti-CEP-1 and Anti-Sa Antibodies in a Cohort of Seronegative and Suspected Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Patients from a Community Rheumatology Practice
Background/Purpose: RA is the most common autoimmune inflammatory joint disease, affecting up to 1% of the world population. Detection of antibodies, specifically against IgM rheumatoid…Abstract Number: 3017 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Elevated Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Levels Correlate with Anti-CCP3-IgG and Anti-CCP3-IgA Levels in the Sputum of Individuals at-Risk for Future Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The initial site of anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) generation in RA has been proposed to be a mucosal site. We have previously demonstrated ACPA…Abstract Number: 503 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Titer and Prevalence Is Influenced By Age at Rheumatoid Arthritis Onset- Analysis Based on a Nationwide Database in Japan
Background/Purpose: Previous studies demonstrated the lower prevalence of anti-CCP antibody and rheumatoid factor (RF) in elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA). However, anti-CCP antibody titer in EORA…
