Thanks for the links!

I think he must have been mixed up, too. But he was adament that DR 2 and 8 were the "more specific" markers than DQ. In the office I just figured he must have access to the most current research. I wonder if thats why they recordd the specific genes, instead of just what he asked for? (I read the lab slip which said specifically DR 2 & DR8)
