Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies in the Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Correlation with some clinical and laboratory Data
Dalia Medhat Afifi;
Abstract
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies were recently shown
to be highly specific for seropositive RA (98%), with a sensitivity of 68%
utilizing a simple ELISA assay. Furthermore, 35% of seronegative RA
patients were anti-CCP positive. In addition
to be highly specific for seropositive RA (98%), with a sensitivity of 68%
utilizing a simple ELISA assay. Furthermore, 35% of seronegative RA
patients were anti-CCP positive. In addition
