Using a standard microcytotoxicity (NIH) technique of tissue typing, the
HLA-B27 antigen was identified in 30 out of 34 patients (HH.2%) with classical
ankylosing spondylitis (AS), compared to 6 out of 70 controls (H.6%)
(P < 0.005).
We also found this antigen in 8 out of 76 (10.5%) patients with non-AS
arthritis.
