title: Identification of a novel allele, B*15012, by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) and sequence-based typing.
abstract: We report here a new allele, B*15012, identified by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) and sequence-based typing (SBT). B*15012 differs to B*15011 (previously named B*1501) by a single nucleotide, at position 435 of codon 120. B*15011 encodes AAG and B*15012 encodes AAA at codon 120, this difference does not result in an amino acid change.
