Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory autoimmune disorder, causing progressive joint destruction as a result of chronic synovitis. Clinically, cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP) are frequently used to detect these antibodies in patient serum or plasma (then referred to as anti?citrullinated peptide antibodies.
