Table II. Conservation of natural HLA-B*27 cellular peptides with sequences of bacteria associated with B*27-dependent reactive arthritis.
| Bacteria | Number of bacteria peptides with the indicated changes versus human liganda |
|
|---|---|---|
| 1 change | 2 changes | |
| C. jejuni | 1 | 18 |
| Chlamydia trachomatis | 0 | 4 |
| C. difficile | 1 | 34 |
| P. copri | 2 | 35 |
| S. typhimurium | 1 | 18 |
| Shigella flexneri | 0 | 24 |
| Y. enterocolitica | 1 | 47 |
a Only the peptides with P2 anchor motif for HLA-B*27:05 binding were considered.
