Funded Activity Summary

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a progressive arthritis which affects the back and causes the back joints to fuse. The project seeks to investigate the role of the ERAP1 protein and the gene which is the blueprint for the ERAP1 protein in causing Ankylosing Spondylitis. This will be through resequencing the gene, investigating the action of the different ERAP1 proteins and the effect of ERAP1 deficiency in mice.
