We are interested in performig HLA-B27 testing by Flow.  We are evaluating
BD's B27 Kit and it seems to work well.
  
Our questions are concerning controls:  How often are positive controls run
by those of you perfoming this test clinically?  Do you have a way to
preserve positive control blood that has worked for you?

Also, what have you learned about cross-reactions (like B7)?

Thank you in advance for your help!  Scottie
