Mafa-DRB haplotypes defined by exon 2 sequencing and DRB-STR genotyping. Data in parentheses are STR length observed in some (one or two) animals. Question marks indicate STRs not detected or rarely detected but the presence of a gene is ascertained by sequencing. 172? and 181? indicate that these STRs were detected but not confirmed by sequencing. DRB4*0101? and DRB*W501? are detected on cDNA, but not on gDNA most likely due to primer inconsistency. Mafa-DRB alleles which are represented in bold have not been reported earlier
