Abstract excerpt
The diversity of HLA-C exon-2 alleles in 56 HLA-A, B, DRB and DQB1-matched patient-unrelated marrow donor pairs was examined by non-cloning polymerase chain reaction-based sequencing of genomic DNA. This method allows simultaneous analysis of both alleles in heterozygous samples. All Cw5-positive individuals encoded a sequence which differed from the published Cw*0501 sequence at position 61. Among 82 samples...
