title: Identification of a novel MICA allele: MICA*051.
abstract: We have identified a novel MICA allele, MICA*051, detected by the polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers and characterized by sequence-based typing. MICA*051 appears to be the result of a recombination between MICA*00801 and MICA*00701 at intron 2.
