| Research Abstract |
In this study, we identified three proteins, citrullinated fibrinogen, citrullinated fibronectin, and citrullinated vimentin in synovial fluids derived from RA patients by proteomics based analysis. Besides, compared to synovial fluids from OA patients, α1acid glycoprotein and fibrinogen were found in higher levels and apolipoprotein A-I was found in lower level in synovial fluids from RA patients. It was thought that there was a possibility of a new arthritis diagnostic marker by combination of these proteins.
