Does polymorphism in an HLA linked proteasome gene influence phenotypic expression of disease in HLA-B27 positive individuals?
Our findings support the involvement of additional HLA linked genes in the phenotypic expression of disease in B27 individuals and suggest a role for the non-B27 HLA haplotype in susceptibility to iritis.
PLT capacity depended on the PLT pooling systems used. All systems provide acceptable storage conditions. The Baxter system was the only system with capacity for more than 424 x 10(9) PLTs per PC.
