Discovery of T Cell Receptor β Motifs Specific to HLA–B27–Positive Ankylosing Spondylitis by Deep Repertoire Sequence Analysis
21 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disorder, has a notable association with HLA-B27. One hypothesis suggests that a common antigen that binds to HLA-B27 is important for AS disease pathogenesis. This study was undertaken to determine sequences and motifs that are shared among HLA-B27-positive AS patients, using T cell repertoire next-generation sequencing. METHODS: To identify motifs...
