Abstract excerpt
The allotypes of the C7 M/N polymorphism are determined by comparing the ELISA reaction pattern of the allospecific mAb WU 4-15 with polyclonal anti-C7 IgG. To characterize the molecular basis of this polymorphism, the WU 4-15 epitope was mapped by expression of cDNA fragments. It was found to be located within the boundary region of the two short consensus repeats of C7 (amino acid residues 595-612)....
