Barnardo, M.C.N.M., Bunce, M., Lord, C J. and Welsh, K.I. (1997) HLA-B*5603: sequence of a novel hybrid allele comprising B*56 and B*4601 segments. Tissue Antigens, 49 (5). pp. 496-498.

Abstract

The sequence of B*5603 has been deposited with the Genome Sequence Database and has the accession number U73113. The name B*5603 has been officially assigned by the World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee in September 1996. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent nomenclature report (1), names will be assigned to new sequences as they are identified. Lists of such new names will be published in the following WHO nomenclature report. CJL is a Wellcome Trust prize student.
