Abstract excerpt
The various HLA class II specificities, identifiable by serological or cellular typing reagents, reflect underlying polymorphisms of the constituent alpha and beta chains, encoded at several loci within the HLA-D region. Variation in these genes is concentrated in allelic hypervariable regions but can also be found elsewhere. Sequence-specific oligonucleotides (SSO) can be used to detect individual alleles with a...
