• Respiratory - musculoskeletal comorbidity: a joint session with a<br />
rheumatologist and a chest physician Ochil 3<br />
Experts: George Kitas and Michael Cushley<br />
Pulmonary pathology is common in the connective tissue diseases and<br />
primary chest disease can also involve the joints. Diagnostic and treatment<br />
approaches may differ between the 2 disciplines and the evidence base is<br />
limited, so a combined approach may help. We will be presenting some<br />
examples <strong>for</strong> discussion and hope also to discuss cases submitted by<br />
the audience.<br />
Please note that there is an additional fee of £20 to attend a Meet the<br />
Expert workshop, and continental breakfast is included in this fee.<br />
Places are limited and are allocated on a first come, first served basis.<br />
To enquire about the availability of the workshops, please ask at the<br />
registration desk.<br />

• Why does HLA-B27 predispose to spondyloarthritis? Paul Bowness<br />
This talk will describe the biology of HLA-B27 and the cellular mechanisms<br />
by which it may cause inflammatory disease<br />
• CD4 T cells and spondyloarthritis – breaking the rules Hill Gaston<br />
<strong>The</strong> association between HLA-B27 and spondyloarthropathies is usually<br />
thought to imply a central role <strong>for</strong> CD8+ T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis<br />
of these diseases. This presentation will present evidence that CD4+ T cells<br />
can also be involved in recognition of HLA-B27, and the implications of<br />
these findings<br />
