The class II products of the major histocompatibility complex, also called Ia antigens, are composed of 2 polypeptide chains, the .alpha. and .beta. chains, both encoded within the major histocompatibility complex. In man, the class II antigens can be divided into 3 biochemically distinct groups called HLA-DR, HLA-DC and HLA-SB. Isolation of c[complementary]DNA clones for the polymorphic .beta. chain of HLA-DR and HLA-DC has allowed the study of the organization of the class II genes. The HLA-SB .beta.-chain gene was identified in recombinant clones from a cosmid library generated from a consanguineous homozygous B-cell line. The SB .beta.-chain gene is linked to the SB .alpha.-chain gene and the 2 genes are in opposite orientation. A 2nd SB .beta.-chain gene, corresponding to a new SB .beta. II locus, was also identified and cloned. The SB .beta.-chain genes show much less allelic restriction site polymorphism than the genes for the .beta. chains of HLA-DR or HLA-DC.
