Abstract
The molecular biology of the HLA-B27 locus is reviewed. The HLA-B27 gene itself does not differ between healthy individuals and ankylosing spondylitis patients. Several unique features of the HLA-B27 molecule have been identified and one epitope was proposed to cross-react with bacterial proteins.Entities:
