Abstract excerpt
We examined the serological reaction of 50,000 HLA antisera for correlations with amino acid substitutions at 16 variable residues on the A locus and 8 variable residues on the B locus. We identified antisera that produced mutually exclusive allelic reactions corresponding to amino acid variants at the various residues. We assumed that by this procedure, epitopes that were determined by a single amino acid...
