Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of eight DR4 subtypes resides in several nucleotide substitutions in the third hypervariable region of the DR beta 1 chain. The typing of DR4 subsets using the mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) assay or allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization is expensive, cumbersome, and requires the use of radioisotopes. We have therefore developed a rapid and safe procedure for subtyping DR4-alleles that...
