Abstract excerpt
The HLA-B locus is the most polymorphic of the class I genes encoded within the human major histocompatibility complex. This polymorphism is mainly located in exons 2 and 3, which code for the molecule's alpha1 and alpha2 domains and includes the antigenic peptide binding site. However, information about adjacent non-coding regions (introns 1 and 2) has not been extensively reported but could be very important in...
