HLA-DP distribution in Shanghai Chinese--a study by polymerase chain reaction--restriction fragment length polymorphism

Hum Immunol. 1992 Feb;33(2):129-32. doi: 10.1016/0198-8859(92)90063-s.

Abstract

One hundred and four normal unrelated Chinese were typed for HLA-DPA1 and DPB1 alleles by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Increased frequencies of HLA-DPA1*0201 and DPB1*0501 were found in this Chinese population as compared with those detected in Caucasoids and blacks.
