To understand the regulation of anti-citrulline-containing peptide antibody (anti-CCP) production in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), production of anti-CCP by B cells derived from peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM), and synovial fluid (SF) was examined. Purified PB and SF B cells
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) represents a disease where we have recently acquired new knowledge on etiology and molecular pathogenesis, by combining data from studies on genetic end environmental determinants of disease with molecular and cellular immunology. This combined approach has provided

This article reviews the link between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with regard to similarities in genetic risk factors and immunopathogenesis. Emphasis is paid to the potential role of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis in the etiopathogenesis of both periodontitis

To study the impact of parity history on the risk of antibodies to citrullinated peptide antigens (ACPA) positive and ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in different age-groups. Data from a population-based case-control study of female incident RA cases were analysed (2035
No blood marker assessing the functional absorptive bowel length has been identified. Plasma citrulline, a nonprotein amino acid produced by intestinal mucosa, is one candidate. We tested this hypothesis in adult patients with the short-bowel syndrome, whose condition can lead
