ABSTRACT:
A substantially pure rheumatoid arthritis specific protein (RASP) and an antibody against the rheumatoid arthritis specific protein (anti-RASP antibody) are disclosed. The RASP is found specifically in the serum or plasma of a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, and may be detected using an anti-RASP antibody easily and effectively. Therefore, the anti-RASP antibody of the present invention is useful for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis by the criterion of the presence of RASP.
