Extended HLA/complement allele haplotypes: evidence for T/t-like complex in man.
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of alleles for HLA-A, B, C, D, BF, C2, C4A, and C4B markers were found to occur in haplotypes at frequencies significantly higher than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A nomenclature is proposed designating not only the migration pattern of the C4 variants in agarose gels but also the heterogeneity of theC4 chains observed in SDS-PAGE, which resulted in a total of 11 variants in the population studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonresponsiveness to Hepatitis B Vaccine in Health Care Workers: Results of Revaccination and Genetic Typings
Donald E. Craven,Z Awdeh,Laureen M. Kunches,Edmond J. Yunis,Jules L. Dienstag,Barbara G. Werner,Polk Bf,D R Syndman,Richard Platt,Clyde S. Crumpacker +9 more
TL;DR: Poor responders to vaccine may benefit from revaccination, and genetic factors may modulate the immune response to vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immune response to hepatitis B vaccine in humans: inheritance patterns in families.
TL;DR: Responsibility to the HBsAg vaccine is MHC linked, and inherited in a dominant fashion; an abnormal or missing immune response (Ir) gene is a characteristic of most examples of the extended haplotype [HLA- B8,SC01,DR3]; and other haplotypes also have abnormal orMissing Ir genes forHBsAg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major histocompatibility complex haplotypes and class II genes in non-Jewish patients with pemphigus vulgaris.
TL;DR: There are two major MHC susceptibility alleles in American patients with PV, one of which apparently arose on a haplotype in the Jews, HLA-B38(35), SC21(SC31), DR4, DQw8, and spread to other populations largely as D-region segments and has also partially fragmented so that many patients carry only DRw14, D Qw5.
