Seven new HLA-B alleles associated with antigens in the B7 CREG.
This paper describes seven novel HLA-B alleles. Five of these new alleles contain polymorphic motifs previously reported in HLA-B alleles, suggesting an origin resultant from a gene conversion mechanism. B*0723 contains a polymorphism previously unreported in class I HLA molecules. B*4105 contains a nucleotide substitution previously unreported in class I HLA molecules, which encodes a protein sequence previously reported only in HLA-C locus alleles.
