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
The association of HLA-B27 and seronegative spondyloarthropathies, especially ankylosing spondylitis has been known for almost two decades. The spontaneous development of spondyloarthropathy like joint disease in HLA-B27 transgenic rats verifies the suspicion that the HLA-B27 antigens are directly r
