Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) genotype and haplotype with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 105 AS patients, 62 patients of osteoarthritis (OA), and 412 randomly selected healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) was used to detect the KIR genotype and...
