title: Twenty-five novel HLA-B alleles.
abstract: Twenty-five novel HLA-B alleles are described in this paper: B*0729, B*1309, B*1814, B*1815, B*2724, B*2725, B*3539, B*3926, B*4037, B*4040, B*4042, B*4043, B*4044, B*4204, B*440203, B*4428, B*4429, B*4430, B*4505, B*5308, B*5309, B*5510, B*5511, B*570102, and B*5709. Most of the variants are single nucleotide substitutions. Two involve variants at the Bw4/Bw6 epitope. Two alleles carry substitutions of conserved amino acids.
