HLA B27-Q Real-Time PCR Kit

Product Overview


Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is a genetic biomarker strongly associated with a group of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, particularly Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Psoriatic Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease-related arthritis. HLA-B27 positivity is observed in approximately 90% of patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis, making its detection an important tool in supporting early diagnosis and clinical assessment of autoimmune conditions. Accurate identification of the HLA-B27 allele can aid clinicians in evaluating patients presenting with chronic joint pain, spinal stiffness, inflammation, and related symptoms.

To address this important clinical need, Genes2Me introduces the HLA B27-Q Real-Time PCR Kit — an advanced in vitro diagnostic solution designed for the rapid and accurate detection of the HLA-B27 allele in human serum or plasma samples. Built on highly sensitive Real-Time PCR technology, the assay enables reliable molecular detection to support autoimmune disease diagnosis and patient management.

HLA-B27

How the Assay Works


The HLA B27-Q Kit utilises a multiplex Real-Time PCR system incorporating highly specific primers and fluorescent probes targeting HLA-B27 sequences. Fluorescent reporter dyes enable simultaneous detection of HLA-B27-specific DNA and an internal control within separate detection channels, ensuring robust assay validation and minimising the risk of false-negative results. The optimised assay design delivers precise amplification and reliable performance across a broad range of clinical samples.

Clinical Relevance


HLA-B27 testing is widely used as a supportive diagnostic marker in patients with suspected autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Early and accurate detection of the HLA-B27 allele can help clinicians differentiate inflammatory arthritic diseases from other musculoskeletal conditions and support timely therapeutic intervention. With analytical sensitivity and specificity of 100%, clinical sensitivity and specificity of 98%, and a limit of detection of 800 copies/ml, the HLA B27-Q Kit provides laboratories with dependable molecular diagnostic performance.
