Abstract
Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA)s are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are essential for serological diagnosis of RA.ACPAs are not specific for a single citrullinated target; in fact, several citrullinated ACPA target proteins have been described. As a consequence, ACPAs are primarily detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, where several citrullinated peptides are used as target antigens.This chapter focuses on the detection of ACPAs using a recently developed peptide panel in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
