title: Three new HLA-A alleles determined by sequence-based typing: A*2493, A*2918 and A*0342.
abstract: In this study, we report the identification of three new human leukocyte antigen class I alleles: A*2493, A*2918 and A*0342 found by routine typing using commercial kits. The names A*2493 (HWS 10005702), A*2918 (HWS 10005703) and A*0342 (HWS 10005705) have been officially assigned by the World Health Organization Nomenclature Committee in August 2008.
