Abstract excerpt
We investigated the molecular basis for the striking association between HLA-DR2,Dw2 and human immune responsiveness to the Ambrosia artemisiifolia (short ragweed) pollen allergen Amb a V by sequencing the second exons of the DRB and DQB1 genes of 17 selected ragweed-allergic Caucasoid subjects. We also studied the DQA1 allelic polymorphic regions (APRs) in these patients by dot-blotting using sequence-specific...
