title: Description and characterization of two new HLA alleles, B*4051 and DRB1*1364, identified by sequence-based typing.
abstract: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B and HLA-DRB1 typing in two female individuals revealed reaction patterns that did not correspond to any known HLA-B specificity and appeared to identify a very rare HLA-DRB1 allele, respectively. Sequence-based analysis of these samples revealed two new HLA alleles, one similar to B*4023 and the other to DRB1*1308. The new HLA-B allele, which was assigned the name HLA-B*4051, could have been generated by a double crossing over recombination between B*4001 and B*1401 or 1402, whereas DRB1*1364, the new DRB1 allele, could have been generated either by a double crossing over recombination between DRB1*1308 and DRB1*1201, 1202, or 1203 or by two independent crossing over events between DRB1*1401, DRB1*1201, 1202, or 1203 and DRB1*1301.
