Association of distinct fine specificities of anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies with elevated immune responses to Prevotella intermedia in a subgroup of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis

<strong>Objective</strong> In addition to the long-established link with smoking, periodontitis (PD) is also a risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To elucidate the mechanism by which PD could induce antibodies to citrullinated peptides (ACPA), we examine the antibody response to a...
