Characterization of a new HLA-B18 allele, B*1806, which lacks expression of the Bw6 epitope.

Tissue antigens - 1 Dec 1998

Abstract excerpt

HLA-B18 is a well defined Bw6-associated serologic specificity. Up to now, four different sequences have been characterised in Caucasian populations (B*1801,3,4,5), and one in Orientals (B*1802). We report a new HLA-B18 subtype (B*1806) which was serologically detected in a Spanish Caucasian indi...
