HLA-B alleles of the Cayapa of Ecuador: new B39 and B15 alleles.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jan 1995

Abstract excerpt

Recent data suggest that HLA-B locus alleles can evolve quickly in native South American populations. To investigate further this phenomenon of new HLA-B variants among Amerindians, we studied samples from another South American tribe, the Cayapa from Ecuador. We selected individuals for HLA-B molecular typing based upon their HLA class II typing results. Three new variants of HLA-B39 and one new variant of...
