Abstract excerpt
In the American black population, DRw8 is commonly found in association with DQw7 and an undefined HLA-D specificity. Polymerase chain reaction amplification was used to obtain DRB1 cDNA clones from two unrelated individuals expressing this haplotype. The DRB1 sequence is most similar to a sequen...
