Figure 6. Nucleotide sequence supporting a possible gene conversion event for the ELA-A9 DRB genes.

Figure 6

Partial nucleotide sequence of ELA-DRB exons 1 and 2 showing a segment of nucleotides common to the DRB3 locus (bottom sequences) that are also found in the ELA-A9 DRB2 sequence (A9_DRB2*00401). A similar motif is also found in the ELA-A9 DRB1 allele (A9_DRB1*00401). Codons that are considered to contact antigen are boxed in the reference A3_DRB1_*00101 allele.
