Anti-CCP, which stands for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, is a new blood test that helps doctors confirm a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
Anti-CCP is a test that can be ordered during the diagnostic evaluation of people that may have rheumatoid Arthritis. If it is found at a moderate to high level, it confirms the diagnosis and may also indicate that the patient is at increased risk for damage to the joints, as lower levels of this antibody are less significant. Previous to this the rheumatoid factor (RF) was measured to help confirm a diagnosis.
No CCP tests like SED rate tests are able to indicate inflammation and or infection but further tests are required to make a reasonably reliable diagnosis. There is no definitive test for RA. Even if the diagnosis points at RA there are always other possibility's.
This sounds like the first signs of rheumatoid arthritis. RA is not easily diagnosed and can easily slip a doctors attention. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks connective tissues in joints and other parts of the body. It takes time to get a diagnosis of this disease as there is no definitive test for it' However Blood tests that are done for RA include tests for Rheumatoid factor which is elevated in about 80% of RA cases. as well as esr (erochite sedimentation blood tests) to check for inflammation, a more recent an very important test to help in the diagnosis is the CCP blood test, this can be useful in diagnosing early RA. An elevated CCP can be found in a significant number of patients who have a negative RF, and therefore can help to make a diagnosis. According to the American College of Rheumatology, CCP antibodies may be detected in about 50-60% of patients with early RA (as early as 3-6 months after the beginning of symptoms). Early detection and diagnosis of RA allows doctors to begin aggressive treatment of the condition, minimising the associated complications and tissue damage.

Apple Daily tends to be anti-CCP and favour pro-democracy camps in its articles.
Anti-venene is made by injecting a small amount of the venom in question into an animal. That animal produces antibodies to fight the venom. The blood of the animal is then drawn out and the antibodies extracted. These antibodies are the anti-venene.
Interleukin
Yes. Blood group O has naturally occurring anti-A and anti-B.
As Blood type O contains Anti-A-Antibodies and Anti-B-Antibodies (not Antigens) Anti-A-Serum contains Anti-A-Antibodies (which reacts with A antigen not antibody) Anti-B-Serum contains Anti-B-Antibodies (which reacts with B antigen not antibody) so antibody in antiserum will not find any antigen in blood-group O to react with so no Clumping
Blood group AB
Blood Type 'O': Red Blood cells have neither A-antigen, nor B-antigen but generates both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies - Blood Type 'A': Red blood cells have the A-antigen which generates the Anti-B antibodies Blood Type 'B': Red blood cells have the B-antigen and generate Anti-A antibodies The lack of antigen explains why Type "O" can safely donate to Type "A" and Type "B". The Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies generated by Type "O" is the reason "O" cannot receive donations from Type "A" or Type "B".
Anti nuclear antibodies
anti-B
Antiglobulin or Anti-immunoglobulin
Antibodies and /or anti - antigen.
