title: Allelic diversity in KIR2DL4 in a bone marrow transplant population: description of three novel alleles.
abstract: Genomic DNA sequencing was used to identify alleles of KIR2DL4 from 78 unrelated individuals involved in hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Eight known alleles were observed. Three new alleles, KIR2DL4*00203, *00502, *0080104, which differ from known alleles at the nucleotide but not at the protein sequence level, were also identified.
