Abstract excerpt
The HLA-B*27 group of alleles has been extensively studied due to the association of particular B*27 alleles with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We describe here an HLA-B*27 allele (B*2712) encoding an antigen that lacks reactivity with B27 monoclonal antibodies (moabs) and alloantisera but reacts...
