Anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) using a peptide of filaggrin has been used extensively as a new serologic marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1,2). Many studies have confirmed that anti-CCP enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is as sensitive as rheumatoid factor (RF) and much more specific for RA among various rheumatic diseases (2).
