Abstract excerpt
The association of specific HLA-C nucleotide sequences with psoriasis vulgaris was investigated in 75 Japanese patients by the polymerase chain reaction method, followed by slot-blot hybridization using two specific oligonucleotide probes. The synthesized nucleotide primers were C180P, 5'-GACCGGGAGACACAGAAGTACAAG-3' (coding for amino acid residues 61 to 68 of the alpha 1 domain of the HLA-C molecule) and C243PR,...
