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 individual as a B18 Bw4-associated antigen. Complete coding region sequencing showed that B*1806 differs from B*1801 in a...
