Abstract excerpt
Informative pedigree analysis of two rare C4 allotypes is reported. One proband was C4A deficient as a consequence of having one haplotype with a deleted C4A gene, and the second haplotype with two C4B genes--one encoding the common C4B*1 and one encoding a unique hybrid gene product C4B*3. C4B*3 had approximately normal C4B hemolytic activity, a single alpha-chain of MR 94,000 by SDS-PAGE but was positive for...
