  1. 1. Functional studies of anti-gpi monoclonal antibodies and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAS)

    Författare :Taotao Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : RA is an autoimmune disease that primarily impacts joints throughout the body. The disease can result in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is a chronic disease, meaning that it lasts a long time and can worsen over time if left untreated. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies on the role of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Aase Eline Haj Hensvold; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and present in about two thirds of all patients at diagnosis. They can be detected already before disease onset and have direct pathogenic effect mediated partly through the Fc (fragment crystalizable) portion with attached Fc-glycan structure. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Identification and functional analysis of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Yibo He; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease and typically manifested by joint inflammation and bone erosion with approximately 0.5% of the global population affected. To date, it is believed that genetic predisposition (e.g. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diagnostic and prognostic potential of joint imaging in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies

    Författare :Michael Ziegelasch; Thomas Skogh; Alf Kastbom; Mattias Magnusson; Kristina Forslind; Hilde Berner-Hammer; Jan Cedergren; Tuulikki Sokka-Isler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The introduction of novel therapeutic strategies set new goals for the patients’ outcome, which aims to achieve remission. This goal requires early diagnosis of RA and prompt efficient pharmacotherapy. The introduction of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) two decades ago allowed an earlier RA diagnosis.

  7. 5. Presence of immunological markers preceding the onset of rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Mikael Brink; Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist; Anca Irinel Catrina; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autoantibodies; rheumatoid arthritis; anti citrullinated protein antibodies; pre-symptomatic individual; immunologi; Immunology; reumatologi; rheumatology;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an unknown aetiology characterized by joint destruction. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease development with HLA-DRB1* alleles and smoking identified as most important. LÄS MER
