Abstract excerpt
Two alleles encoding HLA-Cw7 antigens, tentatively called C7J1 and C7J2, have been identified in Japanese using a PCR-SSCP method. The nucleotide sequence of full-length C7J1 cDNAs showed a high degree of homology to the reported Cw*0702 sequence except in exon 1. We then resequenced the allele carried by the cell line JY in which Cw*0702 was first identified, according to a request from the WHO Nomenclature...
