T cells, but not thymic exposure to HLA-B27, are required for the inflammatory disease of HLA-B27 transgenic rats
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Rats transgenic for the human MHC class I gene HLA-B27 are susceptible to a spontaneous multisystem inflammatory disease that resembles human B27-associated disease. This disease requires a high level of expression of the B27 transgene product in cells of hemopoietic origin and can be adoptively transferred to B27 transgenic or nontransgenic rats by transplantation of bone marrow (BM) or fetal liver (FL) cells....
