The HLA â?? B27 test costs about 30 US dollars. This test helps in diagnosing suspected diseases like reactive arthritis.
HLA-B27
This is a blood test to detect the presence of HLA-B27 in white blood cells. The test is conducted to look for specific protein found on the surface of white blood cells. The protein is called human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) that help the body's immune system tell the difference between its own cells and foreign, harmful substances. The test is referred when you have symptoms of chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in certain areas of your body, such as your back, neck, and chest, or eyes, especially if you are male. A positive test means HLA-B27 is present. It suggests a greater-than-average risk for developing Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome or Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the sacroiliac joint). If HLA-B27 is not present, then the association is not there.

The utility of HLA-B27 teating depends on the pretest probability of disease.

HLA typing either by serologic (blood fluid) or DNA methods is reported as the phenotype for each HLA loci tested. The antibody screen test is reported as the percentage of panel reactive antibodies (PRA).
Class 1 = HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-CClass 2 = HLA-DP, HLA-DQ, and HLA-DR
