How can you use “ccp” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
RF, Sa, AFA, and CCP are highly associated with shared epitope in early RA
Titers of both anti-CCP and AFA were not correlated with RF titers.
At the completion of the study, of the 37/132 (28%) nonRA patients positive for one of AFA, AKA, anti-Sa, or anti-CCP, 12 had some form of spondylarthropathy, 4 had a connective tissue disease, and 21 continued with a diagnosis of 'undifferentiated arthritis'.
Our data indicate that only 31% of RF- RA patients had any of AKA, AFA, anti-Sa or anti-CCP, and that anti-Sa was the most specific for this diagnosis.
In conclusion, it is demonstrated that antibodies directed against putatively citrullinated antigens including SA, filaggrin, keratin, and CCP are the most specific for RA, and are detectable early in the disease course.
