Identification of new HLA-C alleles by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide typing: Cw*0314 and Cw*1511*.

摘要

In this article, we report two new human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) alleles, HLA-Cw*0314 and Cw*1511, which were identified during routine tissue typing of donors for the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and Australian Cord Blood Bank. HLA-Cw*0314 shows six codon changes in exon 3 compared to Cw*030401 and shares some sequence homology with Cw*07 alleles. Cw*1511 has two nucleotide changes compared with Cw*150201 in exon 2, both resulting in amino acid changes in the protein sequence.
