HLA class I nucleotide sequences, 1992

Abstract

The HLA class I sequences included in this compilation are taken from articles listed in the literature: "Nomenclature for Factors of the HLA System, 1991" [1], "Nomenclature for Factors of the HLA System, 1990" [2], and "Nomenclature for Factors of the HLA System, 1989" [3]. Because of the increased number of sequences, we have only included sequences for exons 2-4 in this compilation. Where discrepancies have arisen between reported sequences, the original authors have been contacted where possible, and necessary amendments to published sequences have been incorporated into this alignment. Future sequencing may identify errors in this list, and we would welcome any evidence that helps to maintain the accuracy of this compilation. In the sequence alignments, identity between nucleotides is indicated by a hyphen (-). An unavailable sequence is indicated by a period (.). Gaps in the sequence are inserted to maintain the alignment between different alleles showing variation in amino acid number.
