Southern analysis of DNA polymorphism among Dw subtypes of DR4

Southern analysis of DNA polymorphism among Dw subtypes of DR4

J A Nicklas et al. Hum Immunol. 1985 Jun.

Abstract

DNA from individuals of four Dw subtypes of DR4 (Dw4, Dw10, Dw14, Dw15) were studied using Southern blotting to determine if subtype-specific DR beta or DQ beta restriction fragment polymorphism could be found. Although very little polymorphism was found among ten DR4 homozygous individuals (4 Dw4, 2 Dw10, 3 Dw14, 1 Dw15) using a Dr beta or a DQ beta probe, restriction fragment polymorphism was easily detected between different DR types (DR1-DRw8). The possible evolutionary significance of the lack of Dw-associated polymorphism relative to DR-associated polymorphism is discussed.
