Genetics of human C4 polymorphism: detection and segregation of rare and duplicated haplotypes.
Applying a combined technology for the detection of allotypic variation of the fourth component of human complement (C4), including immunofixation with anti-C4 and C4-dependent lysis after agarose electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of C4 to separate the C4A and B alpha-chains, and the determination of Rodgers (Rg) and Chido (Ch) determinants of C4 in serum and at the blotted C4 alpha-chains, we detected rare human C4 allotypes and studied the genetic linkage. Partial inhibitors (p.i.) of anti-Rg and anti-Ch sera were found; the C4A51 allotype characterized as Rg p.i. and the C4A1 and C4B51 allotypes as Ch p.i. were genetically inherited. The C4A1 allotype has a unique Rg- Ch+ C4A alpha-chain. Duplicated C4A loci, A*3, A*2, and A*5, A*2 were both associated with a C4BQO and the HLA haplotype A3-Cw4-Bw35-DR1. These additions to the already known extensive C4 polymorphism may help to sort out their significance for the biological functions of human C4.
