Excerpt

The role of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has become better understood; however, the identity of the target proteins of this modification remains elusive. We evaluated serum from patients with various subtypes of JIA to investigate the presence of anti-citrullinated fibrinogen and anti-citrullinated α-enolase antibodies, and their association with rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-CCP antibodies. …
