The major DBP alleles. The amino acid differences between the three major DBP alleles are depicted. These differences affect not only their electrophoretic properties but also their glycosylation pattern. In particular Gc2 is not glycosylated, which prevents it from forming the DBP-macrophage activating factor (DBP-MAF). Other biologic differences are discussed in the text.
