NOMENCLATURE FOR FACTORS OF THE HLA SYSTEM, UPDATE JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1997

The following sequences have been submitted to the Nomenclature Committee in the period following the publication of the last report “Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, 1996” and, following agreed policy, have been assigned official allele designations. Full details of all sequences will be published in the forthcoming report “Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, 1997”. Below are listed the newly assigned sequences, confirmations of previously reported sequences and some sequences which are corrections of those originally reported. The accession number of each sequence is given and these can be used to retrieve the sequence files from either the EMBL, GenBank or DDBJ data libraries. Although accession numbers have been assigned by the data libraries and most sequences are already available, there is still the possibility that an author may not yet have allowed the sequence to be released; in such a case, you will have to contact the submitting author directly.
