B7-CREG and ankylosing spondylitis. 1983

The distribution of HLA alleles in B27 negative AS and Reiter's syndrome patients is reviewed. Some groups have reported an increased incidence of B7-CREG antigens (B7, B22 and B40) in B27 negative Caucasian AS patients, but we could not confirm these results, although an increased incidence of B7 was found in our B27 negative American Black patients with AS. Studies with larger numbers of B27 negative AS patients of various racial groups are needed to establish clearly if there is an association with B7-CREG antigens.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006680	HLA Antigens	Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D013167	Spondylitis, Ankylosing	A chronic inflammatory condition affecting the axial joints, such as the SACROILIAC JOINT and other intervertebral or costovertebral joints. It occurs predominantly in young males and is characterized by pain and stiffness of joints (ANKYLOSIS) with inflammation at tendon insertions.

D015235	HLA-B Antigens	Class I human histocompatibility (HLA) surface antigens encoded by more than 30 detectable alleles on locus B of the HLA complex, the most polymorphic of all the HLA specificities. Several of these antigens (e.g., HLA-B27, -B7, -B8) are strongly associated with predisposition to rheumatoid and other autoimmune disorders. Like other class I HLA determinants, they are involved in the cellular immune reactivity of cytolytic T lymphocytes.
