Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA-based methods can type for HLA antigens with no or very low cell surface expression. The role of such serological blank antigens in bone marrow donor selection is unknown. METHODS: HLA-A serological blank antigens detected in two leukemic patients were cloned and sequenced from genomic DNA. mRNA expression and exon 3 splicing were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction...
