Abstract excerpt
The identification of the new allele HLA-B*0809, which was found in a Caucasian individual, is described. In the sequence analysis the new allele differs from B*0801 by six nucleotides located in exon 3. As the structure is identical to a variety of other HLA-B alleles, it is likely that the new allele originated by gene conversion. At the protein level, the new allele has two amino acid differences compared to...
