Abstract excerpt
A novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B allele is described. The allele was identified in a German blood donor of Caucasian origin. Because high-resolution HLA-typing using sequence-specific primers gave inconclusive results, sequence-based typing was performed. Nucleotide sequences of exons 2 and 3 most closely match with HLA-B*4417 and HLA-B*440301 (99.5% identity). The predicted protein sequence revealed a...
