Population and peptide specificity analyses and studies in transgenic rodents support a role of HLA-B27 as an antigen-presenting molecule in spondyloarthropathy. The interplay between HLA-B27 and arthritogenic bacteria on infected cells suggests that HLA-B27 might also influence disease by other mec
We investigated the polymorphic second exon of the HLA-DPB1 and HLA-DRB1 genes, using in vitro DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and oligonucleotide hybridization in 136 patients with early onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis (EOPA-JCA) and 199 healthy controls. The an
## Objective: To determine whether hla-b27 positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis (as) and reactive arthritis (rea) share additional hla factors that confer disease susceptibility. ## Methods: Hla class i antigens were typed serologically, and class ii antigens molecularly, in samples take
