title: Sequence of the HLA-B*1573 allele.
abstract: We report here the sequence of an HLA B*15 allele, B*1573. Initially, a cord blood unit from the Umbilical Cord Bank of Barcelona was typed by sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridization and revealed an unusual hybridization pattern. After the cloning, the sequence-based typing assigned two different alleles: B*07021, and a second allele identical to B*1558 in exons 2 and 3, except for a single nucleotide substitution in exon 3, which changed codon 140 from Phe to Leu (TTX-->TTA).
