Abstract excerpt
There are six known HLA-B alleles that share the HLA-B27 allospecificity, yet differ by one to six amino acid substitutions. Each of these B27 alleles can be readily assigned by one of the six representative IEF patterns. Two unrelated individuals, LH and HS, express B27 Ag that appear to be iden...
