Anti ‐carbamylated protein and peptide antibodies as potential inflammatory joint biomarkers in the relatives of rheumatoid arthritis patients

ConclusionThe presence of anti ‐FCS‐Carp, anti‐Ca‐Fib3 and anti‐Ca‐Fib2 antibodies may have a role for these antibodies as early biomarkers in the development of RA, probably including additional mechanisms related with other non‐SE alleles; the anti‐peptide antibodies proposed in the present study may represent a simpler way to identify antibodies directed to a specific target.
