A novel HLA class I allele: HLA-A*24:241.

The HLA-A*24:241 allele differs from A*24:02:01:01 by one nucleotide substitution at position 319.

Characterization of the novel HLA-B*40:243 allele.

The HLA-B*40:243 allele differs from B*40:11:01 by three nucleotide substitutions at positions 361, 368 and 369.

[Distribution of tap1 and tap2 loci allelic and genotypic frequencies in Chinese Hans].

This study was aimed to investigate the distribution and implication of tap1 (transporter associated with antigen processing) and tap2 loci allelic and genotypic frequencies. The distribution of tap1 and tap2 loci allelic and genotypic frequencies in 339 random samples of healthy Chinese Hans was analyzed by TaqMan PCR. Several genetic information about power of discrimination, cumulative DP, polymorphism information content, expected heterozygosity and observed heterozygosity were calculated.
