Neuroproblem, I did a bit of an investigation of ankylosing spondylitis a while ago (one of my friends has been diagnosed with it).
A major risk factor for it is inheriting a Class I MHC allele (HLA-B27) - more than 90% of people with it have that allele. As you say, that suggests cytotoxic T cell involvement.
I hope that this helps you.
