DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism of HLA-DR2: correlation with HLA-DR2-associated functions. 1986

S Jacobson, and R Sorrentino, and G T Nepom, and D E McFarlin, and J L Strominger

HLA-DR2 can be divided into at least 3 distinct HLA-D clusters which correlate with structural differences within the HLA-D region. Further, a functional counterpart of this subdivision has been previously identified. The presence of a particular DR beta 2 polypeptide chain correlated precisely with the susceptibility of measles virus-infected HLA-DR2 homozygous typing cell lines to lysis by measles virus-specific, HLA class II-restricted CTL clones. To determine if a genetic basis for these functional differences could be detected, the degree of polymorphism at the DNA level within the serologically defined HLA-DR2 haplotype has been examined. By using DNA probes for DR beta and DQ beta 4 of the 5 HLA-D clusters of HLA-DR2 could be distinguished and a RFLP pattern was identified which correlates with known immunological functions associated with these various D types. In addition, this technique of 'molecular genotyping' was used to investigate a limited panel of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who were HLA typed as either HLA-DR2,2 or HLA-DR2,blank. The RFLP profile of the HLA-DR2 Dw2 D type was found in all of these MS patients.

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
