HLA class II molecules are surface heterodimers which are essential in the initiation of immune responses. The amount of polymorphism expressed by the different class II molecules is largely dependent on the polymorphic structure of their beta chains. Cross-hybridization between, class II beta genes frequently hampered restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of donor genomic DNA. In this report we show that the cross-hybridization between human class II beta genes is mediated by a region of high homology, rich in C and G residues, between the first domain encoding sequences ofDP, DQ, andDRgenes. The removal of the DNA segment containing this region from the fragments used as labeled probes against the corresponding fragments of the genes at other loci or against endonuclease digested genomic DNA completely eliminated or drastically reduced the cross-hybridization. Also, the RFLP patterns generated with the shortened probes were more informative and much simpler to interpret than were these generated with probes made from the original genes.
