Humoral response against Mycobacterium bovis Hsp65 derived fragments in children and young people with various disorders

Abstract

Using Western blotting, we investigated IgG antibodies against Mycobacterium bovis heat shock protein 65 (MB-Hsp65) fragments produced by cleavage with cyanogen bromide (CNBr) in 10 healthy controls, 11 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA),
