title: KIR2DL1 allelic diversity: four new alleles characterized in a bone marrow transplant population and three families.
abstract: Sequencing of PCR amplified genomic DNA including most of the coding region was used to identify killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL1 alleles from three families and 77 bone marrow transplant patients and donors. Alleles 2DL1*00302 and *002 were frequently observed in addition to two other known alleles and four new alleles, 2DL1*00402, 2DL1*007, 2DL1*008, and 2DL1*009.
