Using humoral immune responses, Klebsiella pneumoniae has been implicated as a candidate microbial trigger in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by several investigators but refuted by others. The objective of this case-control study was to compare the cellular (T-cell proliferation) and humoral (IgG and IgA, by ELISA) immune responses of affected individuals in multiplex AS families with those of unaffected family members and normal healthy controls in order to find out whether affected individuals exhibit a predominant immune response to K. pneumoniae.
