New alleles in the B44 family including B*44022, B*44032, B*4411, B*4420, B*4421, B*4424, and B*8301.
Seven new HLA-B locus alleles have been described. B*44022 and B*44032 are silent substitutions altering known alleles. B*4411 carries a unique Bw4-like epitope. B*4420, B*4421, and B*4424 carry new combinations of motifs previously observed in other alleles. B*8301 appears to be the result of the replacement of exon 2 from B*4402 with exon 2 from B*5603.
