Population and peptide specificity analyses and studies in transgenic rodents support a role of HLA-B27 as an antigen-presenting molecule in spondyloarthropathy. The interplay between HLA-B27 and arthritogenic bacteria on infected cells suggests that HLA-B27 might also influence disease by other mechanisms. Recent genetic advances promise the identification of additional susceptibility genes.
在转基因啮齿动物中进行的群体和肽特异性分析及研究支持HLA - B27作为脊柱关节病中抗原呈递分子的作用。HLA - B27与感染细胞上的致关节炎细菌之间的相互作用表明,HLA - B27也可能通过其他机制影响疾病。最近的遗传学进展有望鉴定出更多的易感基因。
