Figure 1.
Expression of DQB1 and DQA1 genes. The gene expression is showed as percentages of the total DQA1 and DQB1 transcripts for each APC. Panel A and C show the expression of DQA1 alleles in B-LCL and PBMC, respectively; panel B and D show the expression of DQB1 alleles in B-LCL and PBMC, respectively. The APC are grouped by their genotypes; the significance, among the expression values of two alleles, was calculated for each patient and for the group with at least two samples (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.005).
