Abstract excerpt
We have sequenced a cDNA clone encoding an HLA-B71 (B70) allele from an African American individual. Serologic definition of B70 allelic products is very difficult due to extensive cross-reactivity of the alloantisera with B35, B15, and B5 antigens. The new sequence most closely resembles the sequence of B*1503, differing only by three amino acids at positions 63, 67, and 116. The B71 sequence differs from...
