Citrullinated Antigens in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient-Matched Synovial Biopsy, Synovial Fluid, and Serum Samples

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to characterize the presence and level of SBT777101-reactive antigen in synovial biopsy tissue and fluid from both early and late-stage RA patients, who are on different type of medications (including but not limited to TNF-inhibitors. Correlate local levels of antigen with systemic levels measured in serum using matched patient tissue and blood sample, and correlate local and systemic levels of 7101-reactive antigen with ACPA, VICM, and other RA-related serum biomarkers. Also, to evaluate immune cell populations and correlating this with clinical information and levels of antigen.
