A novel HLA-B*18:80 allele identified by SBT typing in an Italian bone marrow volunteer donor.
A novel allele, officially named B*18:80, was detected in a Caucasoid individual by polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primers and SBT. The new allele differs from B*18:01:01 at two nucleotidic positions in codon 24 at exon 2.
