Bxon 2 nucleotide seguence of the DE1 gene encoding the BLA-Dml3b allele defined by DWA-BFLP (Restriction Fragumnt Length Polymorphi88) typi8g, haa been obtained by using five heteroxygoue individual6 WC DWA Its cavpariaon with and a non isotopic autcmated 'dideoxi' methodology. other know8 homologous DBBl eeguencee suggeete that two different mechauiexm which generate WLB allele variability may have occurred in this particular exon 2: a gene convereion between DBwll or DBw13 as acceptors and DR4-Dw15 or DBwS.1 as donors and in addition, a non-conservative point rmrtation at base 221, The relationship between this HLA sequence characterietice and certain diseases euaceptibility ie dimcuemed. INTRODUCTION The HW-DBwl3b alloepecificity defined by BFLP amlyeie (Bidmll et to type and easily mieaeeigned al. 1988) ie difficult aa DBwl2 by serological typing (see in Betuel et al 1984 and Schreud8r et al 1984, Bawxygoue Typing Cell (EC] 9W1802=BAG). Several review papers containing the exon 2 seguencee from different EL&DRB gene vaxiante have recently bee8 published (Sodm8r et al. 1989, Warsh andBodumr, 1989); BTGe Wer8 ueed a8 source material. However, none of them included the DBwl3b subtype, mostly due to the lack of BTG defining this specificity in the 10th Interuatioual Hw Workshop and aleo to its poorly defined serology. In the present work, w8 have obtaiued the Corresponding 8x08 2 Hw-DBB g888 DNA eeguence W-8 specific polymorphism of each HL&DR allele is determined became it containe information to translate the first dcmain of the EL?+DR j3 chain. MATERIAL AND METHODS Polymerame ChainReaction (PCB)method (Saiki et al. 1985) waa umed to amplify DBB exon 2 eeguencee fran 5 different Spanish individuals sharing TABGEl the DBw13b allele. Hw-DR and -DQ phenotypes of the 5 individuals wed in this at&y.

previouely described: primer GE46 (S*-tXGGAmTDaedprimerewerethoae (S'AGlTG~-3‘), GH50 G-a&3') and primer (8charf et al. 1988). DNA warn prepared from petripheral blood leukocytes of to standard methcde (Wyman and White, 1980). PCR individuals accordiug mixtures (loo@) coneieted of gencmic DNA (1 pg) in a solution containing 50 mN KCl, 10 mN Trie-Cl pa 8.3, 1.5 mN wpCl2, 0.01% (w/v) gelatin, 200 jd4 each dGTP, and dTTP, l@ of each oligonucleotide primer and 2.5 ofdATP, dCTP, unite Taq polymaraee (Perkin Bluer Cetus, U.S.A.). Amplification of targeted DR81 sequences was carried out by denaturation of DNA (7 min at 94-C followed by rapid cooling on ice) followed by 30 cycles of ccmbined primer annealing and extension at 68-C (2 min) and denaturation at 94-C (1 min). Amplification Products were purified and ineerted into 8ma-I digested Nl3pml8 RF DNA and the resulting recanbinante were used to traneform coli TGl cells. After a screening for DR8 inserts, 20 different canpetent E. colourless reccmbinant Wl3 plaques from each individual were amplified in B. coli TGl by overnight culture. Culture supernatanta were incubated with PBG/NaCl to precipitate Xl3 particles (30 min at 4-C) and then were purified phenol-chloroform and ether extractione and, ethanol finally, by Single precipitation. stranded DNA templates were sequenced using the Sanger*8 dideoxy chain termination method and an Applipd Bioeysteam 370A automated DNA sequencer (Gocayue et al. 1987) am follows: Dye-labeled Wl3 primers were added to annealing reaction mixturee:A) 25Ong of template/l ~1 of JOB/l.8 711 of 5x buffer;C) 250 ng of template/l ~1 of FAN/l.8 ~1 of 5x buffer;(;) 500 ng of template/2 ~1 of TANRA/3.6 ~1 of 5x buffer;T) 500 ng of template/2 ~1 of ROX/3.6 ~1 of 5x buffer. Mixes were heated to 65-C for 5 min and cooled to room temperature over 30 min. After a brief dideoxynucleotide t exmination/Taq polymeraee mixtures centrifugation, were added to each tube (A, 3~1; C, 3~1; G, 6~1; T, 6~1) and the reaction mixtures were incubated at 70-C for 10 min. A new dome of Taq polymerase wae added (1 711 A and C; 2 ~1 G and T) and the mixtures were incubated for 10 additional min at 7O'C, pooled, and precipitated by addition of 6 711 of 31 NaDAc (pH 5.2) and 150 ~1 of ethanol. After a 70% ethauol wash, the aaaplea were briefly dried under vacuum and redissolved in 1 ~1 50 mW BDTA and 5 pl of formamide. Bach eample (6 ~1) was electrophoresed at a constant 30 W in an 6% polyacrylaiaide gel in the sequencer. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All but one of the axon 2 sequences obtained from each individual were assigned to the different variant8 of DR81, DR82, DR83 or DR84 genes according to their 8LA phenotype, when ccmpared with those previouely deecribed (Bodrer et al. 1989, Wareh and Hodmer 1989). The remaining sequence, identical in all the individuals, wae assigned to the exon 2 DRwl3b sequence.

Therefore, individuals carrying the DRwl3b allele should be searched for auto izmuue diseases (i.e.: pemphigue, associated to HLA-DR4) in contrast to other DR5 and DRw6 positive subjects. To our knowledge, this is the first BLA-DNA sequence which has been obtained by a non isotopic automated method; also, genomic DNA from several heterozygoue individuals ie used instead of the usual cDNA extracted from hoewzygoue cell lines.
