    Aim: This work aimed to determine the serum and salivary level of vimentin in patient with RA. Materials and Methods: A total of 84 participants with RA (69) and controls (15) were submitted in this work. Serum and Salivary vimentin levels and other clinical measures in serum [Anti Cyclical Citrullinated Peptide Antibody (ACCP), Rheumatoid Factor (RF)] were determined by quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The sensitivity and specificity of vimentin was determined by Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis. The relationship between serum and salivary level of vimentin in RA patients with other clinical measures was assessed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results: (Mean ± SD; Median) of serum vimentin concentration (mg/ml) in RA patients was.. Read More»
