Figure 3.
Neighbor-joining tree, obtained by using MEGA2 (Kumar et al. 2001), is based on the amino acid sequence of the α3 domain of all H2-M class Ib molecules and Tw3 and Tw5. The classical class Ia proteins, H2-Kbc (accession no. AF100956) and H2-Db(accession no. AAA39601) were included for comparison. The sequence of H2-M3 is from the b haplotype (accession no. NM_013819) and that of H2-M2 is from the dhaplotype (accession no. M26156); both genes are telomeric toGabbr1 (Amadou et al. 1999).
