Abstract excerpt
Class II HLA-DP antigens are heterodimers comprised of alpha and beta chains coded by HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 genes. Both genes are polymorphic with substantial variation between different populations world wide. This work describes DPA1 and DPB1 polymorphism in four Pacific Island populations of Cook Islands, Samoa, Tokelau and Tonga, living in New Zealand. Using sequencing based typing four DPA1 alleles and...
