Abstract: This paper describes 29 novel HLA-B locus alleles identified during low-resolution typing. The majority of the novel alleles carry new patterns of previously known polymorphic motifs or codons. Three alleles carry alterations in the Bw4/Bw6 epitope. Five alleles carry novel substitutions.
