Oligonucleotide probes were used to investigate the role of DQ beta molecules in susceptibility to multiple sclerosis. Although shared amino acid and nucleotide sequences in DQ beta 1 have been suggested to be critical in disease development, we find that the distribution of sequences corresponding to residues 71-77 is not greater in patients versus controls.
使用寡核苷酸探针来研究DQβ分子在多发性硬化易感性中的作用。尽管有人提出DQβ1中共享的氨基酸和核苷酸序列在疾病发展中至关重要,但我们发现,与71-77位残基相对应的序列在患者中的分布并不比对照组中更高。
