Abstract excerpt
We describe the finding of an Alu repeat dimorphism within the first intron of the MICB gene. The frequencies of the two AluyMICB alleles, AluyMICB*0(absence of insertion) and AluyMICB*1(presence of insertion), and their associations with the highly polymorphic HLA-B locus were determined for 51 human cell lines and for 109 and 200 Caucasians and northeastern Thais, respectively. Analysis of the AluyMICB and...
