Abstract excerpt
The number of identified HLA-DPB1 alleles increased rapidly by application of DNA-based typing techniques. PCR-SSO typing indicated the presence of possible new HLA-DPB1 variants in the Ethiopian population. The use of the SBT technique, which considers polymorphic as well as constant regions in the second exon of HLA genes, allowed direct identification of two new allelic variants. Moreover, a recently...
