Detection of HLA-E and -G DNA alleles for population and disease studies.

Abstract excerpt

HLA-E and -G genes show a restricted polymorphism encoding for molecules whose variability is limited at the peptide binding site. Fourteen alleles that give rise to only three productive proteins for HLA-G (*0101, *0103 and *0104) and five alleles with three different proteins for HLA-E (*0101, *0102 and *0103) have been described. Expression of these molecules is low and found in many tissues for HLA-E: HLA-G...
