CCP antibodies are a specific type of antibody produced by the immune system called an autoantibody. While most antibodies help the body fight disease by recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances like bacteria and viruses, autoantibodies don’t fulfill this important immune function.

The CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody test measures CCP antibodies in the blood. CCP antibodies are proteins that are part of an immune system attack on healthy tissues and cells, such as the joints. A healthcare provider may order this test to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
As with rheumatoid factor, some people with positive anti-CCP antibody will not have RA, but this test is somewhat more specific for RA than the rheumatoid factor. The higher the levels of anti-CCP antibody, the more likely it is to suggest RA. This test is 97% specific for RA if it is present.
CCP antibodies, also called anti-CCP antibodies, are a type of antibody called autoantibodies. Antibodies and autoantibodies are proteins made by the immune system. Antibodies protect you from disease by fighting foreign substances like viruses and bacteria.

The ANA, RF, and CCP tests are commonly used in adults in the workup of SLE and inflammatory arthritis. In general, physicians have assumed a similar diagnostic utility in diagnosing childhood rheumatic conditions.
A rheumatoid factor (RF) test measures the amount of rheumatoid factor (RF) in your blood. Rheumatoid factors are proteins produced by the immune system. Normally, the immune system attacks disease-causing substances like viruses and bacteria.

A related blood test known as anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) test is also available. Anti-CCPs are antibodies also produced by the immune system. People who test positive for anti-CCP are very likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, but not everybody with rheumatoid arthritis has this antibody.
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Hemolysis; lipemia; gross bacterial contamination; addition of azide or other preservative; heat inactivation

Separate serum from cells within one hour of collection. Transfer to a plastic transport tube before shipping. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.
Grossly hemolyzed; bacterial contamination; lipemic specimen; icteric specimen; non-serum specimen types
