Reactive arthritis (ReA) induced by infection with several gram-negative bacteria is strongly associated with expression of the major histocompatibility complex class I molecule HLA-B27. It is thought that due to the intracellular lifestyle of ReA-inducing bacteria, bacterial fragments can be presented by HLA-B27. Cytotoxic T cells recognizing such bacterial peptides or other induced host peptides could cross-react with self peptides presented in the joints, giving rise to disease.

Reactive arthritis (ReA) after infections with various gram-negative bacteria is strongly associated with the MHC class I molecule HLA-B27. It is supposed that the B27 molecule itself plays a role in the pathogenesis of ReA by presenting antigenic peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The peptide repertoires presented by Salmonella-, Shigella- and non-infected cells were compared to identify such peptides.
