Abstract excerpt
Using a combination of serology and polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP), we have identified in a volunteer bone marrow donor a new HLA class I antigen within the B44 serotype. This human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B44 variant was typed as 'blank' by microlymphocytotoxicity, whereas the B*44020101 allele was identified by PCR-SSP. A family study confirmed the Mendelian segregation of...
