Researches on DLA-DRB1 genotyping by PCR-RFLP. II. A study of serology and cellularly defined DLA haplotypes and their segregation.
The polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to study DLA class II gene in dogs. Genomic DNA from 11 DLA homozygous reference dogs representing 8 different haplotypes and 2 families with a total of 16 animals were amplified by the oligonucleotide primer pair (HLA-DRB-AMP-A/B) cross-hybridizing HLA-DRB specific and fit for the amplification of DLA-DRB1 gene. The corresponding amplified DNA products were 235 base pairs. Amplified DNA was digested by 32 different restriction endonucleases, which could recognize allelic variations within DLA-DRB. After digesting only with Hae III, Hha I, Hinf I, Rsa I and Sau96 I high polymorphism was revealed respectively and 9 distinct RFLP pattern were shown, which could be correlate to the DLA haplotypes studied. The 8 cellular established DLA-D specificities present in the reference panel were defined unequivocally by PCR-RFLP and correlated with DLA-Dw5 and Dw6 two subtypes. The segregation pattern of four different DLA-DRB types could be demonstrated in two families. Based on these data we conclude that PCR-RFLP typing utilizing the above mentioned primer pair and endonucleases is a valuable tool to define DLA class II types in the dog.
