Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B27 (subtypes B*2701-2759) is a class I surface antigen encoded by the B locus in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 and presents antigenic peptides (derived from self and non-self antigens) to T cells.or example, while 90% of people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are HLA-B27 positive, only a fraction of people with HLA-B27 ever develop AS. Individuals who are HLA-B27 positive are more likely to experience early onset AS than HLA-B27 negative individuals.
HLA testing has been a staple in transplantation since the recognition that antibodies, directed against lymphocytes, were associated with allograft failure. This seminal finding led to the discovery of the MHC and the appreciation of the importance of HLA testing in transplantation.or example, if all cells in a particular panel that have HLA-B8 also have HLA-A1 present owing to linkage disequilibrium, then it is impossible to determine if the patient has a HLA-B8 antibody only, a HLA-A1 antibody only, or both.
