| Abstract | Despite DP antigens have been shown to be stimulators of the mixed lymphocyte reaction, human leukocyte antigen-DPB1 is not considered in the matching criteria for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The role of DPB1 matching in HSCT remains inconclusive because of contradictory findings in different studies. The concept of permissible and non-permissible mismatches might clarify these contradictory results. Although several groups have attempted to identify immunogenic epitopes in exon 2 to establish permissive and non-permissive allele groups, the direct correlation between individual exon 2 amino acids and epitopes with DPB1 immunogenicity is still not evident. We hypothesize that polymorphism within the entire molecule, including polymorphic variability in different ethnic groups, is crucial to unravel the function of DPB1 polymorphism. Using an RNA-based approach, we sequenced all frequent and available non-frequent DPB1 alleles full length from 148 samples representing 28 different DPB1 alleles from either Black, Caucasian, or Oriental origin. We identified various DPB1 alleles with, in addition to the exon 2 polymorphism, polymorphisms in exons 1, 3, 4, and 5. Based on this polymorphism outside exon 2, we defined one new allele. Two alleles with identical exon 2 polymorphism but differing outside exon 2 were identified in individuals of different ethnic groups. As T cell binding is not restricted to the polymorphic groove and polymorphism in the ß2 domain of the DP molecule affects CD4 interaction, full-length polymorphism should be considered to determine immunogenicity. Eventually, this knowledge will provide new insights in the classification of DPB1 polymorphism and more importantly will add new perspectives to the concept of permissiveness in transplantation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
