nitrogenase/inflammation

Synovial tissues from patients with ankylosing spondylitis or reactive arthritis were examined by an immunoperoxidase technique, using antisera to synthetic peptides representing antigens shared between HLA-B27.1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase. With either antiserum, all HLA-B27+ patients

Molybdenum is an essential element for the function of nitrogenase in plants and as a cofactor for enzymes including xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfide oxidase in animals. Molybdenum trioxide is used primarily as an additive to steel and corrosion-resistant alloys. It is also

Ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis are seronegative spondyloarthropathies, which are strongly associated with HLA-B27. Despite intensive investigation, the basis for this association is not clear. However, in recent years one favored hypothesis to explain this linkage has been that of

Crohn's disease (CD) is an immune-mediated gastrointestinal inflammatory disease, which could arise from an interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Klebsiella microbes were suggested to have a vital role in the initiation and perpetuation of the disease through the mechanism of
