The Axis-Shield Anti-CCP test is a semi-quantitative/qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the IgG class of autoantibodies specific to cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) in human serum (including Serum Separator Tubes) or plasma (EDTA, lithium heparin, or sodium citrate). Detection of anti-CCP antibodies is used as an aid in the diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and should be used in conjunction with other clinical information. Autoantibody levels represent one parameter in a multi-criterion diagnostic process, encompassing both clinical and laboratory-based assessments
A collection of reagents and other associated materials intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP) in a clinical specimen, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) method.
