A new HLA-B antigen, BHT: definition by serological and biochemical means.
In 3 unrelated individuals, a new, so far unknown HLA-B-locus antigen was found. This HLA-B antigen, provisionally termed 'BHT', is recognized by extra reactions with alloantisera against the B5 cross-reactive group. BHT can be clearly discerned from all cross-reactive antigens by one-dimensional isoelectro focusing (1D IEF), as it reveals, on IEF gels, a characteristic, rather neutral double-banding pattern different from all known HLA class I bands. The BHT banding pattern, which is identical in all 3 BHT-positive individuals, segregates with the haplotype A28, BHT, Cw7, DRw6.
