THE ASSOCIATION OF ERAP2 GENE POLYMORPHISMS WITH SERONEGATIVE SPONDYLOARTHROPATHIES IN HLA-B27 NEGATIVE ROMANIANS [PDF]
Objective. Our aim was to investigate whether two ERAP2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2910686 and rs2248374) influence spondyloarthritis (SpA) susceptibility in Romanians. Methods.

Inflammatory bowel disease-specific autoantibodies in HLA-B27-associated spondyloarthropathies: Increased prevalence of ASCA and pANCA [PDF]
Aims: An association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and spondyloarthropathies (SpA) has repeatedly been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether serologic markers of IBD, e. g.

Phosphorylation of STAT-1 serine 727 is prolonged in HLA-B27-expressing human monocytic cells. [PDF]
A tissue antigen, HLA-B27, is strongly associated with a group of rheumatic diseases called spondyloarthritides. Despite the intensive research, the exact role of HLA-B27 in the pathogenesis of these diseases is still unclear. Here we studied whether HLA-

Evidence for Altered Cytoskeleton Mobilization Pathway in Splenic Dendritic Cells (DC) from HLA-B27/human b2 microglobulin Transgenic Rats (B27-rats) [PDF]
Background: Although the association of the MHC class I allele HLA-B27 with Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) has been known for almost 35 years different hypotheses on its relation to disease mechanism still exist in parallel.
