Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Association of position 97 (P97) residue polymorphisms in human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B, including HLA-B*27, with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has recently been reported. We studied the effect of P97 variations on cell surface expression of the AS-associated HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*51, and the AS-protective HLA-B*7. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to measure surface expression of HLA-B*27 in C1R/HeLa...
