Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Allelic TAP polymorphism has been linked to susceptibility to Reiter's syndrome and was suggested to influence disease phenotype in HLA-B27 positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis. In the present study, we examined whether the human TAP alleles functionally differ in their transl...
