CCP peptide TFA is a synthetic cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) and used as the substrate for detecting anti-CCP antibodies serologically. CCP peptide TFA functions as a target for autoantibodies with a very high specificity for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[1][2].
CCP peptide is used as a new antigenic substrate in anti-CCP ELISA to detect anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). The anti-CCP ELISA is extremely specific (98%), with a reasonable sensitivity (68%). The anti-CCP ELISA is very useful for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[3].
