HLA-B locus polymorphism: studies with a specific hybridization probe.

Coppin HL, Denny DW, Weissman SM, McDevitt HO

Abstract

The large number of class I histocompatibility genes (HLA) and their extensive homology has made it difficult to assign bands on genomic Southern blots to known genes. Therefore, we have tried to obtain nucleic acid probes for class I genes that are locus specific or have restricted locus specificity. Computer sequence-homology analysis was used to compare the nucleic acid sequences of two genomic clones, one coding for the HLA-B7 antigen (JY150) and one containing a class I pseudogene (pHLA12.4). A sequence in the 3' untranslated region with very low homology was identified. This sequence from the HLA-B7 gene was subcloned into M13 phage. This fragment, JY150/C5, hybridized with two genomic bands in DNA from human HLA homozygotes--presumably the HLA-B locus gene and a closely related gene. The probe was used to assess restriction fragment polymorphism at the HLA-B locus in homozygous consanguineous cell lines. This analysis permitted the association of certain polymorphic restriction enzyme fragments with some alleles of this locus. However, many HLA-B alleles have identical restriction fragments produced by a number of restriction endonucleases.
