OLIGONUCLEOTIDE DOT-BLOT ANALYSIS OF HLA-DQ-BETA ALLELES ASSOCIATED WITH MULTIPLE-SCLEROSIS JOURNAL OF NEUROIMMUNOLOGY Sinha, A. A., Bell, R. B., Steinman, L., McDevitt, H. O. 1991; 32 (1): 61-65

Abstract

Oligonucleotide probes were used to investigate the role of DQ beta molecules in susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. Although shared amino acid and nucleotide sequences in DQ beta 1 have been suggested to be critical in disease development, we find that the distribution of sequences corresponding to residues 71-77 is not greater in patients versus controls.
