Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide Assay Kit (Anti-CCP)

Cyclic citrullinated peptide(CCP) antibodies are autoantibodies produced by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient that are directed against cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP). It is an important indicator of early diagnosis RA. The CCP antibody test helps to diagnose early RA: CCP antibodies can be detected as early as several years before the typical clinical symptoms. The sensitivity and specificity of CCP is superior to RF. CCP antibody testing, along with RF, could improve the detection rate of RA.In recent years, the bone destruction of positive patients is more serious than negative patients according to the study. Additionally, high concentrations should suggest poor prognosis and high risk of joint erosion. Thus, it is an reliable indicator of observing patients condition and using of drugs.
