Confirmation of a recombinant allele B*5603 and a hypothetical reciprocal hybrid.
From its DNA sequence, B*5603 is thought to be a product of gene conversion. We present here serological evidence of such an event and further speculate on a possible reciprocal hybrid yet to be identified. In addition, we report the allelic frequency of B*5603 in the Taiwanese population and its association with A*1101, Cw*01 and DRB1*1201.
