  1. HC healthy control subjects, RA patients with rheumatoid arthritis, RC rheumatic control subjects
  2. The presence of anti-UH-RA.1 and -UH-RA.21 antibodies of the IgG, IgM, and IgA isotype was determined in 285 patients with RA, 88 RC, and 90 HC. Data are presented as absolute number (percent). Contingency analyses for individual isotypes or the number of isotypes did not show any significant differences between the three study populations
