Abstract excerpt
We describe here a novel allele, HLA-Cw*1507, identified by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) and sequence-based typing (SBT). Cw*1507 is similar to Cw*1502 with differences at nucleotide positions 302 (A to G) and 312 (A to C) in exon 2. The substitutions observed in Cw*1507, change codon 77 from AAC (asparagine) to AGC (serine) and codon 80 from AAA (lysine) to AAC...
