Abstract excerpt
The highly heterogeneous epithelial mucins show considerable inter-individual variability attributable to allelic variations in their tandem repeat (TR) peptide domains. Most mucins are known to show variations in repeat number but variation in the sequence of the individual TRs is not as well characterised. Here, we have studied variation in the immunodominant PDTR motif in the TR domain of the...
