Rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis: a review.
For many years, laboratory diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis has relied on the detection of rheumatoid factor. A new assay that detects antibodies to citrullinated peptides, called the anti-CCP assay, has demonstrated a comparable sensitivity but a much higher specificity than the RF test. This pape...
