Abstract
Ye-3 is an HLA-B27-specific murine monoclonal antibody recognizing the heat-modifiable protein of Enterobacteriaceae. Here we used recombinant hybrid molecules between the HLA-B7 and HLA-B27 antigens to delineate the epitope recognized by Ye-3. Results of these experiments indicated that the segment of HLA-B*2705 spanning residues 77-81 was critical to the reactive epitope. It is known to be a major serological and functional recognition site of HLA-B*2705 and our data give support for its involvement also in the serological cross-reactivity with bacterial antigens.Entities:
