Abstract
Molecular, cellular and serological analysis of Major Histocompatibility Complex alleles was performed on three individuals who appeared to be HLA-DR10 homozygous by DNA restriction fragment analysis. Each donor was of different ethnic origin: Caucasoid, Asian Indian and African Negroid. The results of our studies show that the Caucasoid and Asian donors are indeed homozygous for the HLA-DR10 allele, while the African donor also possesses the DRB1*0103 allele. Homozygosity for the HLA-A1-B37-Cw6-DR10-DQ5 haplotype in the Caucasoid donor was confirmed by familial segregation analysis. The B-lymphoblastoid cell line produced from this donor should prove useful in studies of HLA immunogenetics.
