Abstract
The identification of the base substitution responsible for Ag(x/y) completes the description of the antigen group polymorphisms associated with the apolipoprotein B polypeptide. Surprisingly, all five antigen group polymorphisms alter restriction endonuclease cleavage sites and have associated restriction fragment length polymorphisms, thereby providing a convenient alternative for antigen group phenotyping.Keywords
