Abstract
Seven new HLA-B locus alleles have been described. B*44022 and B*44032 are silent substitutions altering known alleles. B*4411 carries a unique Bw4-li ke epitope. B*4420, B*4421, and B*4424 carry new combinations of motifs pre viously observed in other alleles. B*8301 appears to be the result of the r eplacement of exon 2 from B*4402 with exon 2 from B*5603.
