Citrullination of synovial proteins in murine models of rheumatoid arthritisErik R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Rheum 48:2489-500. 2003....
PAD, a growing family of citrullinating enzymes: genes, features and involvement in diseaseErik R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Bioessays 25:1106-18. 2003..This article contains supplementary material which may be viewed at the BioEssays website at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0265-9247/suppmat/2003/25/v25.1106.html...
Expression and activity of citrullinating peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes in monocytes and macrophagesE R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Ann Rheum Dis 63:373-81. 2004..Peptidylcitrulline can be generated by post-translational conversion of arginine residues. This process, citrullination, is catalysed by a group of calcium dependent peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes...
Rheumatoid arthritis specific anti-Sa antibodies target citrullinated vimentinErik R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Res Ther 6:R142-50. 2004....
Citrullinated proteins: sparks that may ignite the fire in rheumatoid arthritisErik R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Res Ther 6:107-11. 2004..It thus appears that it may take years for initial events that cause the generation of anti-CCP antibodies to develop into full-blown disease...
Autoantibody systems in rheumatoid arthritis: specificity, sensitivity and diagnostic valueMartinus A M van Boekel
Department of Biochemistry, University of Nijmegen, PO Box 9101, 6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Res 4:87-93. 2002..We conclude that, at present, the antibody response directed to citrullinated antigens has the most valuable diagnostic and prognostic potential for RA...
Autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins in rheumatoid arthritis: clinical performance and biochemical aspects of an RA-specific markerSuzanne Nijenhuis
Department of Biochemistry 161, Radboud University Nijmegen, PO Box 9101, NL-6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Clin Chim Acta 350:17-34. 2004....
The presence of citrullinated proteins is not specific for rheumatoid synovial tissueErik R Vossenaar
Department of Biochemistry 161, Radboud University Nijmegen, NL 6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Rheum 50:3485-94. 2004..Although the presence of citrullinated proteins in rheumatoid synovium has been described in the literature, it is uncertain whether their presence is specific for RA. The present study was undertaken to investigate this...

Absence of citrulline-specific autoantibodies in animal models of autoimmunityErik R Vossenaar
University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Arthritis Rheum 50:2370-2. 2004
ABAP: antibody-based assay for peptidylarginine deiminase activityAlbert J W Zendman
Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, Nijmegen Center for Molecular Life Sciences, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen NL 6500 HB, The Netherlands
Anal Biochem 369:232-40. 2007..Our results demonstrate that this antibody-based assay for PAD activity, called ABAP, is very sensitive and can be applied to monitor PAD activity in biological samples...
Citrullinated proteins have increased immunogenicity and arthritogenicity and their presence in arthritic joints correlates with disease severityKarin Lundberg
Rheumatology Unit, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Arthritis Res Ther 7:R458-67. 2005..We also show that citrullinated proteins and the enzyme PAD4 are not detectable in healthy joints, and that the appearance and amounts in arthritic joints of experimental animals are correlated with the severity of inflammation...

Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, Nijmegen Center for Molecular Life Sciences, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
