    Allele Frequencies at the D2S44, D10S28 and D14S13 Loci in Four Southern African Populations

    Polymorphic DNA arising from variations in the number of short tandem repeats accounts for many of the hypervariable regions detected in the human genome (Nakumura et. al., 1987). For this preliminary study we...

    False Paternity Trios in white, black and Cape Coloured populations

    The populations of the Western Cape region are mainly white, black (Xhosa) and the Cape Coloured (CC). The CC population are of mixed genetic background, from white, black, Khoisan and Oriental (Malay) origins...

    DNA Ty** — Strategies in Paternity and Forensic Casework

    Since 1972 we have tested 7272 cases of doubtful paternity. Most cases were adequately resolved by testing the conventional red cell antigen, plasma protein, red cell enzyme and HLA polymorphisms. During the l...

    Polymorphism of HLA-DRB3 and DRB4 Genes Detected by RFLPs

    All the characterized human HLA class II genes are encoded within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on the short arm of chromosome six. Among the five subregions of the class II region, HLA-DR is uniq...

    The Generation of Class II Polymorphism by Recombination

    One of the most striking features of the HLA gene products is their high degree of polymorphism. The HLA class II polymorphism varies from locus to locus, e.g. at present there are 18 serological defined antig...

    T Cell Differentiation in Lower Vertebrates

    With all the recent advances in the study of T cell differentiation in mice, it is reasonable to question whether anything can be fetched from the examination of this problem in lower vertebrates. One obvious ...
