  • Title: Molecular analysis distinguishes two HLA-DR3-bearing major histocompatibility complex extended haplotypes.

    Journal: Immunogenetics; 1987; 26(6):370-4. PubMed ID: 2889669.
    Abstract:
    We detected restriction fragment length polymorphisms that distinguish the extended haplotype HLA-B8,DR3,SCO1 from HLA-B18,DR3,F1C3O at the DR beta and DQ beta loci with five of seven restriction endonucleases used. One set of restriction fragments was always found on HLA-B8,DR3,SCO1 and associated with DRw52a, while the other was present on HLA-B18, DR3,F1C3O and correlated with DRw52b (the gene encoding the subtype of DRw52 associated with the BO1 or LB-Q1 antigen). Furthermore, using a full-length DQ beta gene probe, we found division in the DQw2 haplotype, in which DQw2a always associated with HLA-B8, DR3,SCO1, while DQw2b always occurred with HLA-B18,DR3,F1C3O. Our evidence thus indicates that serologically defined HLA-DR3, HLA-DRw52, and HLA-DQw2 are each produced by two structurally very different sets of genes, one set occurring in HLA-B8, DR3,SCO1, and the other in HLA-B18,DR3,F1C3O.
