Abstract excerpt
A new HLA-B*78 allele, B*7805, was identified in a healthy Japanese female. The results of her serological HLA class I typing showed an unusual Bw4/Bw6 pattern with strongly positive reactivity to anti-Bw6, i.e. A24, -, B52, -, Bw4, Bw6. In DNA typing, she was typed as A*24, -, B*52, B*78-like, Cw1202, -, (Bw4, Bw6). Cloning and sequencing of exon 2 and exon 3 of her B locus genes revealed a new allele B*7805....
