Using an enzyme immunoassay, the development and persistence of serum IgG and IgA class antibody responses against porins, a class of the major outer membrane proteins, were compared between patients who developed reactive arthritis and subjects who did not after Yersinia infection. A significant difference was seen between the two patient groups in the beginning of the disease: those with reactive arthritis had higher levels of IgG and IgA class antibodies against the porins. A similar difference in the IgA class antibodies was also seen at follow-up. This supports the hypothesis of persistence of the pathogen within the arthritic host.
