Anti-CCP Assay
In diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the measurement of anti-CCP is integral. People who test positive for Anti-CCP, are very likely to develop or have already developed RA, but not all who have RA, necessarily develop anti-CCP. Early detection of RA is crucial for reducing tissue damage.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) a chronic condition that is estimated to affect around 0,5%. Early RA diagnosis can make a different to the amount of tissue damage, and in this, the detection of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins/peptide (anti-CCP) has an important prognostic value for the disease.Along with other biomarkers (Rheumatoid Factors) are important in diagnosis of RA patients. Those who develop anti-CCP autoantibodies are very likely to develop RA, however, anti-CCP is not present in all RA patients.
The Svar CCP portfolio consists of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection and semi-quantitation of IgG antibodies to Cyclic Citrullinated Peptides (CCP).
