Positivity of autoantigen in sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A Serum IgG antibodies against osteopontin (OPN), fibronectin (FN), tenascin-C (TNC), α-enolase (α-ENO), bone sialoprotein (BSP), type 2 collagen (Col II), vimentin (Vim), and fibrinogen (Fgn) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). B Antibodies against citrullinated osteopontin (cit-OPN), citrullinated fibronectin (cit-FN), citrullinated tenascin-C (cit-TNC), citrullinated α-enolase (cit-α-ENO), citrullinated bone sialoprotein (cit-BSP), citrullinated type 2 collagen (cit-Col II), citrullinated vimentin (cit-Vim), and citrullinated fibrinogen (cit-Fgn) were tested. Serum samples from 30 RA patients and 7 healthy donors were used. The dashed line indicates the cutoff, defined as the mean plus two standard deviations (SDs), and the positivity of each antibody in RA patients is shown
