Clinical Significance

Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) Antibody (IgG) is a synthetic circular peptide containing citrulline called CCP IgG (cyclic citrullinated peptide) which has been found to be better at discriminating Rheumatoid Arthritis patients from patients with other diseases such as hepatitis C infection. Approximately 70% of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis are positive for Anti-CCP IgG, while only about 2% of random blood donors and disease controls subjects are positive.
