HLA-A2 subtypes (A*0201 - *0212) were determined by oligotyping in HLA-A2 positive samples from four populations (Han Chinese, Dai Chinese, Caucasoids from Germany and Turkish individuals from Kayseri)(see table).
Two different findings can be concluded from this study: 1) Significant HLA-A*02 allelic variations found in four populations. A*0207 is the predominant A*02 allele in the Dai population and absent in the German Caucasian and the Turkish population. In contrast, A*0201 is the most prevalent allele in the Caucasian, Turkish and Han Chinese group. We also found a high proportion of A*0206 and A*0207 in Han Chinese. 2) A strong association has been found between A*0207 and HLA-B46 and DR9 in the Dai minority population. This haplotype is also found in Han Chinese. Three DNA samples from Turkish and one from the Dai population are presently being sequenced because the reaction pattern was out of the expected (Supported by SFB 217) 相似文献
We investigated the effects of the purified catalytic subunit (C subunit) of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) on the cardiac Na+ channel currents. Single Na+ channel currents in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes were recorded using the patch clamp technique of the inside-out configuration. Application of C subunit decreased the peak average current and slowed the current decay, effects which were caused by decrease in the open probability of Na+ channels and increase in the first latency, whereas the unitary current amplitude and mean open times were not affected. We conclude that the cardiac Na+ channel is directly modulated by phosphorylation process through A-kinase. 相似文献
