Abstract excerpt
Pedigree analysis of a Dutch family revealed the presence of an HLA-A "blanc" allele segregating with the HLA-B8, -Cw7, -DR3, -DR52, -DQ2 haplotype. Precipitation studies, using selected mAb and sera directed against conserved epitopes of HLA class I products, failed to detect the expression of a corresponding HLA-A locus product. cDNA nucleotide sequence analysis of the HLA-A "blanc" specificity showed that the...
