Abstract
Objective. To assess frequency of antikeratin antibodies (AKA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. AKA were measured by indirect immunofluorescence and Western blott in serum of 58 RA patients (43 f and 15 m) and 30 healthy donors. Results. AKA were found in 76% of RA patients not depending of duration of the disease and age of patients. AKA specificity for RA was 96%. Conclusion. Role of AKA in the development of RA and their diagnostic significance need further examination.
