Associations between Perceived Stress and Joint Signs in an Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Positive at-Risk Population
Background/Purpose: Psychosocial factors have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outcomes, but have not been well characterized in the early development of RA. We examined…Abstract Number: 2045 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Specific Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies Profiles Are Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis Related Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: The identification of peripheral blood markers of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) may facilitate an earlier diagnosis and provide insight regarding the pathogenesis…Abstract Number: 2325 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sex Differences in the Association of Frailty and Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Frailty in the general population is associated with poor outcomes including osteoporosis (OP), fracture and death. Frailty occurs at a higher rate in RA…Abstract Number: 2999 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Does the Incremental Cost of ACPA-Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Vary By the Care Pathway They Follow?
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients who are anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) positive are prone to more severe structural damage, radiographic progression and inferior response to…Abstract Number: 19 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Citrulline-Multispecific B Cell Receptor Clades in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) have proven highly useful as biomarkers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and appear to be important to disease pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the…Abstract Number: 43 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Anti-Malarial Drug Derivative Inhibited Anti-Citrullinated Protein/Peptide Antibodies and Rheumatoid Factors Production in Dnaseii/Ifnr Double Knock out Mice

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: 480 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
ANTI-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies (CARP) in Palindromic Rheumatism: Prevalence and Clinical Significance
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies (RF or ACPA) are found in sera from patients with palindromic rheumatism (PR) but there are no studies analyzing the presence of Anti-carbamylated…Abstract Number: 951 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cross Sectional Analysis of Citrullinated-Synovial Antigen-Specific CD4+ T Cells in an RA Cohort Demonstrates Antigen Based Differences in T Cell Frequency, Phenotype and the Influence of Immunotherapy
Background/Purpose: The presence of ACPA in RA indicates that an immune response directed toward citrullinated synovial antigens participates in disease development or persistence. Research from…Abstract Number: 1325 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immune Responses to Peptides Containing Homocitrulline or Citrulline in the DR4-Transgenic Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies to proteins/peptides containing citrulline (commonly measured using cyclic citrullinated peptide, CCP2) are hallmarks of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). These antibodies are strongly associated with…Abstract Number: 491 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
