HLA-DR typing using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with one enzyme and two probes.

A panel of 43 homozygous and 36 heterozygous highly selected cells, representing the most common DR-specificities, were investigated with the DNA hybridization technique. By using a single restriction enzyme, TaqI, and two probes, DR beta and DQ alpha, it was possible to construct assignment criteria giving a reasonable definition of DR1, 3, 4, 5, 7 + w9, w8, w10 and w11. The criteria sometimes require that certain bands must not be present. Therefore, in certain genotypic combinations, the presence or absence of the particular specificity on one haplotype cannot be decided. This is a problem only for DR2 and DRw6, which for this reason cannot be assigned in about 1/3 to 1/4 of the cases. The association between RFLP assignment and serological assignment is not absolute, the correlation coefficients ranking from 0.62 to 1.0. In the case of false negative RFLP assignment, this may be due to genetic heterogeneity, as in the case of a DR2 individual who proved to be Dw12 and not Dw2 associated. It is often stated that interpretation of the RFLP pattern is particularly difficult in random or heterozygous individuals compared to proven homozygotes. This is not the case in the present study, where in fact correlation coefficients between RFLP and serologically determined DR specificities were higher in the heterozygotes (range 0.79-1.00).

Restriction maps and restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the human 21-hydroxylase genes.

Restriction maps were constructed for the two human 21-hydroxylase genes (21-OHA and 21-OHB) by using DNA from subjects homozygous for a deletion of each gene. Comparing the patterns of these two genes, a KpnI restriction site occurred in the 21-OHA gene in place of a TaqI site in the 21-OHB gene about 1-kb from the 5' end of the gene, and an extra EcoRI site was located 500 bp 5' to the common EcoRI site. The DNA of fourteen unrelated normal subjects was digested with nine restriction endonucleases (AccI, BamHI, BgIII, EcoRI, HindIII, KpnI, MspI, SacI and TaqI). Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were found with EcoRI, HindIII and AccI that resulted from polymorphic endonuclease sites outside the genes.

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for mtDNA typing in hokkaido brown bear (Ursus arctos yesoensis).

To develop an easy method of typing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in Hokkaido brown bears (Ursus arctos yesoensis), the PCR-RFLP technique was improved using four restriction enzymes: Mbo 1, Cfr 13 I, TspE 1, and Fok 1. This approach identified seven groups of mtDNA haplotypes, HB1/2/5-7, HB 3, HB4, HB8/9, HB10/11, HB12 and HB13 from 102 brown bears of northern, central and eastern Hokkaido.
