Abstract excerpt
Component C6 of the human complement system exhibits a genetic polymorphism in all populations tested so far. Using isoelectric focusing two common allotypes, C6 A ('acidic') and C6 B ('basic') and a number of rare variants have been described. A comparison of the two published cDNA sequences of C6 suggests a polymorphism in codon 98. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we amplified a segment of the human C6...
