Abstract

Eleven novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles were identified during routine sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) typing (LABType; One Lambda Inc., Los Angeles, CA) of volunteers for a hematopoietic stem cell registry in Beijing, China. The new alleles were detected when one or more probes gave an unexpected reactivity pattern.
