Abstract
Geczy found that rabbit sera raised against Klebsiella strain K43 cross-reacted with the cells from HLA-B27 positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Other laboratories failed to reproduce these results. After a series of unsuccessful attempts, however, we managed to prepare one selective antiserum, using E. coli, isolated from a Dutch Bechterew patient, in offspring of rabbits Geczy sent us. Ever since we obtained irreproducible results only. This paper reports about the many attempts we have made to produce a discriminating antiserum for use in a combined vital stain and dye-exclusion assay.Entities:
