Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have associated skin test sensitivity and specific IgE response to Ambrosia artemisiifolia V (Amb a V) with HLA-DR2, and to Ambrosia trifida V (Amb t V) with HLA-DRw52 haplotypes in atopic individuals. Using HLA class II typing by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis with DRB, DQB and DQA DNA probes to define the HLA-D alleles, we have demonstrated the association of the DQw6...
