The purpose of this study was the RFLP characterization of the DRw10 specificity. Twenty-two DRw10 cells were tested: the DNAs were digested by seven restriction enzymes and hybridized with DR beta, DQ beta and DQ alpha probes. Hybridization with DR beta revealed a pattern particular to the DRw10 specificity, with a specific TaqI 12.5Kb fragment. Hybridization with both DQ-specific probes showed that DRw10 is always associated with a special DQw1 subtype: DQw5. Furthermore, at DR and DQ levels, the 22 DRw10 cells behaved homogeneously.
