The molecular basis of the recognition of class-I HLA antigens by allo-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) remains obscure. This article reviews our work in which HLA-B27-specific allo-reactive CTL clones were obtained and their fine specificity was analyzed with a panel of structurally defined H

## Abstract Evidence is presented which supports the suggestion that whether a given antigen is vulnerable to an autoimmune attack is dependent upon the specific immune status of B cells and T cells to that antigen which, in turn, is dictated by the concentration of self antigen in their microenvir
Objective. The association of reactive arthritis (ReA) with HLA-B27 and the presence of bacterial antigen in joints with ReA suggest that bacterial peptides might be presented by the HLA-B27 molecule and thus stimulate CD8 T cells. This study was performed to investigate the B27-restricted cytotoxic
