Abstract excerpt
The Bw4 and Bw6 epitopes were the first HLA-B differences to be recognized by serological methods. Since then 44 serological groups have been identified and more than 250 alleles assigned by molecular typing methods. In general each serological HLA-B group is associated with the presence of either the Bw4 or the Bw6 epitope. There are several exceptions to this rule. Four alleles, B*4601, *7301, *5503 and *1806,...
