Abstract excerpt
In this study we searched for genetic variation in a segment of the human endogenous retrovirus, HRES-1, which encodes a potential autoantigen of 28 kDa. The purpose was to further investigate a possible association between this endogenous retrovirus and multiple sclerosis (MS). Fragments amplified from the HRES-1 region in question were subjected to single strand conformational analysis (SSCP analysis) and...
