Collagen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis.

Both ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and reactive arthritis (ReA) are strongly associated with HLA-B27 although the mechanism for this association is still unknown. Here we examine the hypothesis that B27-restricted, joint antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) may be the driving force of AS and...
