Abstract excerpt
There are four DRw8 haplotypes with different DQ alleles in Japanese: DRw8-DQw6 (w1), DRw8-DQw4, DRw8-DQw8(w3), and DRw8-DQw7 (w3). We previously reported the nucleotide sequence of DRB1 gene of DRw8-DQw6(w1) and it was named DRB1*08032. The nucleotide sequences of the other DRw8 DRB1 alleles and their correspondence to internationally recognized DRw8 subspecificities were still unclear. We have cloned these DRB1...
