Abstract
A two stage PCR-SSOP typing procedure, that permitted WLA-B allele assignme nt, was applied to DNA samples obtained from six diverse populations -Brazi lian, Mexican (Series and Mestizos), Cuban (Caucasoid and Mulatto), South A frican Zulu, Omani, and Singapore Chinese. HLA-B allele frequencies and HLA -A/B two locus haplotype frequencies were compiled for each population. Hum an Immunology 62, 645-650 (2001).
