Abstract excerpt
While characterizing exons 2 and 3 of the class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A locus in human lymphocytes, two similar but unexpected PCR products were detected in six samples of Filipino ethnicity. A nucleotide sequence analysis of the two amplicons, tentatively named HLA-COQ and HLA-DEL, rendered them as two novel and seemingly related sequences, both with homology to the gorilla and human major...
