Confirmation of the HLA-C*16:97 allele in multiple individuals, a new common and well-defined allele?

The HLA-C*16:97 allele was found in multiple donors from the Bone Marrow Registry in South Tyrol.

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.

Sequence-based HLA high-resolution retyping of a bone marrow donor/recipient pair reveals the novel HLA allele DQB1*0322.

In this paper, we characterize the novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1*0322. We found this novel allele in a hematopoietic stem cell donor. The donor and the recipient were high-resolution HLA retyped using sequence-based typing.

In 1964 the first symposium on history of veterinary medicine was organised in Hanover by the section "History of Veterinary Medicine" of the German Society of Veterinary Medicine. During the 6th symposium in Hanover the World Association for the History of Veterinary Medicine (WAHVM) was created. In the following years further symposiums, called later on congresses took place almost every year.
