Identification of HLA-B27-restricted peptides in reactive arthritis and other spondyloarthropathies: computer algorithms and fluorescent activated cell sorting analysis as tools for hunting of HLA-B27-restricted chlamydial and autologous crossreactive peptides involved in reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

The illustrated clinical and experimental results demonstrate the strong relationship between the MHC class I antigen HLA-B27 and synovial CD8+ T cells with specificity for bacterial and possible self-antigen in SpA. These new aspects obtained in recent experimental and clinical studies might also p...
