RevoDx HLA B27 qPCR Kit
HLA-B27 refers to a specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) protein, a key component of the immune system. It plays a role in helping the immune system distinguish between self and non-self cells. The presence of HLA-B27 has been strongly associated with certain autoimmune diseases, particularly ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and other spondyloarthropathies. Detection and diagnosis of HLA-B27 are important in assessing the risk and prognosis of these diseases. PCR diagnosis of HLA-B27 is a sensitive and specific method for detecting the presence of this allele, and it plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies.
