Recognition of Citrullinated and Carbamylated Proteins by Human Antibodies: Specificity, Cross-Reactivity and the “AMC-Senshu” Method
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) play an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The Anti-Modified Citrulline (AMC) (‘Senshu’) method is…Abstract Number: 394 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Remission After One Year in ACPA Positive and ACPA Negative Patients with Early Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To evaluate possible differences in clinical response after one year of remission steered treatment in Anti Citrullinated Protein Antibody (ACPA) positive and negative RA…Abstract Number: 1771 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti Carbamylated Protein Antibodies (Anti-CarP) Are Present in Arthralgia Patients and Predict the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Recently, we discovered a new autoantibody system in rheumatoid arthritis (RA): anti carbamylated protein antibodies (anti-CarP). These antibodies have additional prognostic value in predicting…Abstract Number: 177 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies to Citrullinated Peptides in Tuberculosis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by symmetric polyarthritis, rheumatoid factor positivity (RF) in the majority of patients, and bone erosions shown…Abstract Number: 1691 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Early Signs of Subclinical Inflammation and Local Antibody Production in Early Rheumatoid Lungs
Background/Purpose: The aims of the current study was to investigate if inflammatory lung changes are present in RA patients early in the disease process and…Abstract Number: 31 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti Citrullinated Protein Antibodies From Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Enhance Osteoclastogenesis
Background/Purpose: Presence of anti CCP2 antibodies identifies a subgroup of RA patients that are more prone to develop bone erosions. We hypothesized that anti CCP2…Abstract Number: 1615 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence for Distinct Roles of Environmental and Genetic Factors in the Emergence of Anti Citrullinated-Protein Antibodies Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis-an Epidemiological Investigation in Twins
