Abstract excerpt
HLA-B*27 is known to be associated with ankylosing spondylitis and several methods have been applied to determine its presence or absence. In this report two molecular methods were used for detection of B*27. The polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) method was performed to detect the presence or absence of B*27, whereas the sequence-based typing method (SBT) was used to identify the B*27...
