The Netherlands 6Divison of Rhematology, Department Internal Medicine III, Vienna Recent studies have shown that their production is highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the initial antigenic trigger for these autoantibodies can be localised to the inflammed synovial tissue. The aim of our study was to compare the reactivity and specificity of anti- bodies in sera and synovial fluids towards citrullinated epitopes.
