Abstract excerpt
To determine the complete sequence of a newly identified human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C allele, we designed a method where the full genomic sequence of HLA-C*04 was amplified in isolation from the patient second HLA-C allele in a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using primers spanning its 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions. The new allele, officially designated HLA-C*04:71, differs from HLA-C*04:01:01:01 by...
