Abstract excerpt

Three class I alleles, B*8201, B*3515 and B*5106, have been described using DNA and cDNA sequencing. The B*8201 allele is most structurally related to B*5602, differing from it by 14 nucleotide substitutions resulting in 5 amino acid differences. The other two alleles, B*3515 and B*5106, differ f...
