Early Diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis Is Associated With Less Long‐Term Spinal Structural Damage: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Swiss Clinical Quality Management in Rheumatic Diseases Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society recently defined early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) as a duration of two years or less of axial symptoms. Previous studies have shown no significant difference in short‐term outcomes between patients with early and established axSpA treated with biologic/targeted synthetic disease ...

Hla‐c locus antigens in hla‐b27 associated arthritis [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1978
AbstractFrequecies of the HLA‐C locus antigens, Cw 1, Cw2, Cw3, and Cw4, were determined in 88 patients with spondylitic diseases and 88 matched and 64 B27‐positive normal controls. Both Cw1 and Cw2 were significantly increased in B27‐positive patients and B27‐positive controls as compared to B27‐negative patients and matched controls.

Preliminary Validation of the Early Sacroiliitis Screening Tool (ESHST) for Identifying Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients at High Risk of Spondyloarthritis

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Development and preliminary validation of the Early Sacroiliitis Screening Tool (ESHST), a dermatology‐oriented screening questionnaire for identifying hidradenitis suppurativa patients at increased risk of spondyloarthritis. ABSTRACT Background Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is increasingly recognized as a systemic inflammatory disease associated with ...

An investigation into the consequences of Salmonella infection of murine macrophages and dendritic cells: relevance to reactive arthritis. [PDF]

, 2006
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a sterile joint inflammation triggered by bacterial infection and is associated with the MHC class I molecule HLA-B27. Bacterial antigens have been detected in synovial tissues from ReA patients, but how they are transported ...

Microarray Analysis of Response of Salmonella during Infection of HLA-B27- Transfected Human Macrophage-Like U937 Cells

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 is strongly associated with the development of reactive arthritis (ReA) in humans after salmonellosis. Human monocytic U937 cells transfected with HLA-B27 are less able to eliminate intracellular Salmonella ...

The Effect of PTPN22 Polymorphism on Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Subtypes and Disease Activity in a Finnish Study Population

International Journal of Immunogenetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic factors that modulate immune regulation are increasingly recognised as contributors to the heterogeneity and clinical course of autoimmune diseases. Polymorphisms of protein tyrosine phosphatase non‐receptor type 22 (PTPN22) are associated with several autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Mimicry of human histocompatibility HLA-B27 antigens by Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
Anti-HLA-B27 monoclonal antibody M2, which was relatively specific for human histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27, was used to test several bacteria, some of which could potentially induce chronic arthritis in HLA-B27-positive individuals. Using the Western blot procedure, we observed positive reactions with 80,000- and 60,000-dalton antigens with one ...
