Restriction endonuclease digestion of genomic DNA from 24 lymphoblastoid cell lines homozygous for the HLA class II specificity DQw3, followed by hybridization with a DQ beta-chain cDNA probe, identified a genomic polymorphism with variable BamHI and HindIII recognition sites. This restriction fragment pattern was found for several haplotypes associated with the DQw3 specificity, including some haplotypes positive for the HLA-DR specificities DR4, DR5, DRw8, and DRw12. The variant fragment pattern corresponds precisely with the reactivity of a monoclonal antibody, A-10-83, previously shown to define a serologic split of DQw3. Serologic detection of the specific DQw3.1 genomic polymorphism indicated that the corresponding DQ beta-chain variants are expressed. This polymorphic restriction fragment pattern, then, represents a selective marker for DQ beta-chain genes that appear to define a DQ beta-chain-associated specificity, here called DQw3.1.

HLA class II polymorphisms have been analyzed on the genomic level by two oligonucleotide probes corresponding to the DNA sequence coding for the amino acids 23-30 in the first domain of the beta chain of DQw3.1 and DQw3.2. Specific hybridization to single endonuclease fragments of DNA from some HLA homozygous cells was detected. Here we report the distribution of these DNA exon sequences among different DQ alleles, and demonstrate that the probes may be used to type for DQw3.1 and DQw3.2 respectively.
