“…Biochemically, HLA-A3 shared by the parents was found as the basic subtype (A3.2). The maternal HLA-B39 antigen represents the acidic subtype B39.1, and HLA-A2 is the subtype A2.2 [3], In conjunction to data presented at the 10th Interna tional Histocompatibility Workshop on the banding properties of the HLA-C gene products [4,5], the respective protein bands are shown by a dotted line. However, the HLA-Cw6 banding pattern in not restricted to the members (M, C3, C4) with the haplotype d (A2,Bw57,Cw6) but is also observed in the family mem bers (F, C2, C5) with the haplotype b (A25,B37,C-), though these members were typed as HLA-C'blank\ In figure 2 the class I pattern of family DE shows the acidic HLA-A3 subtype (A3.1 ) on the maternal haplotype d (HLA-A3,B7,Cw7) which is not segregating.…”
