Mouse anti-HLA-B27, clone EP-4 (Monoclonal)

Clone Number: EP-4

Immunogen: Lymphocytes from HLA-B27 individual

Concentration: 100 ug/ml

Storage buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide

Additional info: EP-4 recognizes the HLA-B27 cell surface antigen on human cells. HLA-B27 has been found to be highly associated (60%) with ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev's disease, MarieStrümpell disease or "bamboo spine"). While rheumatoid factor tests will be negative, testing for the presence of HLA-B27 in a patient can confirm the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. Also postgonococcal arthritis and acute anterior uveitis are associated with HLA-B27.
