About Anti ccp antibodies

What are anti-CCP antibodies?

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) are antibodies which target and attack cells in the lining of joints, causing joint inflammation.

Antibodies are proteins typically produced by the immune system to target and protect against harmful entities. In some cases, the immune system can malfunction, producing antibodies which target and attack the body’s own cells. Disorders caused by this process are called autoimmune diseases. 

Anti-CCP antibodies are associated with rheumatoid arthritis. 

Why take the test?

This test checks for the presence of anti-CCP antibodies in the blood. It is used in conjunction with other tests to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis.
