Abstract excerpt
The broad HLA-B16 serologic specificity is divided into B38 and B39 splits associated to Bw4 and Bw6, respectively. Differential serologic variants have been defined for several molecular subtypes of B39 and for B38. We found a Spanish Caucasian individual carrying a B16 Bw4-associated antigen which was not recognized by reagents against B16 splits. Sequencing analysis showed a new B16 subtype termed B*3803.
