Abstract excerpt

RFLPs of TCR beta and gamma genes have been analyzed in chronic HBV carriers of three different ethnic populations to determine if there is an association of TCR allotypes with the development of chronic hepatitis B. The RFLPs of TCR beta and gamma genes were defined respectively by BglII and PvuII genomic fragments on Southern blots. These methods allow allotype assignment. The distribution of TCR beta alleles...
