Multiple antibody reactivities to citrullinated antigens in sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis: association with HLA-DRB1 alleles.
BACKGROUND: Autoantibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) are present in most patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and associate with HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles. OBJECTIVE: To investigate reactivities of anti-CCP to various citrullinated proteins/peptides, which represent...
