Abstract excerpt
One of the strongest known association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotype and disease is that of ankylosing spondylitis and HLA-B27. Thus, the determination of HLA-B27 status is an useful tool in the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. To date, the 2 reference methods for HLA typing (microlymphocytotoxicity and molecular biology techniques), are costly in terms of both technician time and materials,...
