Abstract excerpt
A B13 split antigen was newly identified with three alloantisera in Japanese, and two B13 split antigens were found in a Thai family. To confirm the variation of B13 and understand the correspondence between the serologic splits and the published B13 alleles, B*1301 and B*1302, we determined the sequences of genes coding for these B13 splits. The common Japanese B13 allele was found to be B*1301, whereas another...
