Abstract excerpt
We report the identification of two novel human leucocyte antigen (HLA) in two Caucasian individuals. HLA-A*0343 differs from A*03010101 by four changes at nucleotides 411-414 (CCGG-->TGAA) and by a point mutation at position 418 (G-->C). These differences lead to two amino acid substitutions at codon 114, where arginine has changed into negatively charged glutamic acid, and at codon 116, where aspartic acid has...
