Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most frequent human chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Its etiology is up to date not known. RA has been proven to be an antigen-specific lymphocyte T driven process. Many exo- and endogenous antigens having a possible potential to induce and maintain autoimmunologic reaction have been described. In this report RA associated autoantibodies, especially novel, most specific serological marker--anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (aCCP) are presented.
