Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of HLA-E allelic polymorphism have indicated that balancing selection may be acting to maintain two major alleles in most populations, indicating that a functional difference may exist between the alleles. The alleles differ at only one amino acid position, where an arginine at position 107 in HLA-E*0101 (E(R)) is replaced by a glycine in HLA-E*0103 (E(G)). To investigate possible functional...
