IgG, IgA, IgM antibodies to a viral citrullinated peptide in patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis, chronic arthritides and connective tissue disorders

Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPA), a family of antibodies with overlapping specificities, represent a specific marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of IgG, IgA and IgM ACPA by a newly described assay employing a viral citrullinated peptide (VCP)
