title: Antibodies against cell envelope antigens of Yersinia enterocolitica in reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
abstract: Yersinia enterocolitica is suspected of involvement in the aetiology of reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Its two major outer membrane proteins are important targets for IgA and other protein A reactive immunoglobulins in the sera of some patients with these diseases.
