title: A novel B*38 allele, B*3809, was identified via sequence -based typing of B-cell line no. 299 of the UCLA International Cell Exchange.
abstract: In this paper we report the identification of a new HLA-B allele in a sample that was distributed in the International UCLA Terasaki Cell/DNA Exchange, and the results were summarized in the final report of the 280th Cell Exchange. This novel allele officially designed B*3809 was found in B-cell line no. 299 from a Dutch Caucasoid donor and differs from B*3801 by mutation C-->G at position 483 in exon 3, resulting in an amino-acid substitution at codon 161 from aspartic acid in B*3801 to glutamic acid in B*3809, respectively.
