The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the HLA system, encodes at least three polymorphic series of class II transmembraneous glycoproteins designated DR, DQ, and DP. Each molecule consists of an a and a 13 glycoprotein chain (Kaufmann et al. 1984), each of which is coded by genes in the

Starting from the known association between psoriasis and several HLA antigens and from the fact that the HLA chromosomal region contains the structural genes for at least three complement components, the authors have looked for an association between psoriasis and allotypes of C2 and BF. C2 and BF
Probes to the HLA class I1 genes DRP, DQP, and DQa were used to study DNA from unrelated Caucasian multiple sclerosis (MS) patients by sequential restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in Taql restriction enzyme digests. Comparison of 104 patients and 108 controls, who were not mat
