Abstract

Anti-cyclic citrullinated antibodies occurrence is a recent serological marker for rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the measurement of these antibodies by a new fluorescent-enzyme immunoassay, called EliA CCP, fully automated onto UniCAP 100. This evaluation reveals correct and shows a within run imprecision of 4.6 to 10.5 % and a between-assay imprecision of 9,5 %. The comparison with an Elisa method (Euroimmun) shows a good correlation of anti-CCP concentrations without any major discrepancy.
