Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the functional capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) from a panel of HLA-B27/human beta2-microglobulin (Hubeta2m)-transgenic rat lines and crosses with varying susceptibilities to spondylarthritis (SpA)-like disease. METHODS: Mature splenic DCs were isolated from HLA-B27-transgenic, HLA-B7-transgenic, and/or Hubeta2m-transgenic rats and tested for support of allogeneic proliferation, compared...
