Abstract
The genomic sequences of 15 horse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes and a collection of MHC class I homozygous horses of five different haplotypes were used to investigate the genomic structure and polymorphism of the equine MHC. A combination of conserved and locus-specific primers was used to amplify horse MHC class I genes with classical and nonclassical characteristics. Multiple clones from each haplotype identified three to five classical sequences per homozygous animal and two to three nonclassical sequences. Phylogenetic analysis was applied to these sequences, and groups were identified which appear to be allelic series, but some sequences were left ungrouped. Sequences determined from MHC class I heterozygous horses and previously described MHC class I sequences were then added, representing a total of ten horse MHC haplotypes. These results were consistent with those obtained from the MHC homozygous horses alone, and 30 classical sequences were assigned to four previously confirmed loci and three new provisional loci. The nonclassical genes had few alleles and the classical genes had higher levels of allelic polymorphism. Alleles for two classical loci with the expected pattern of polymorphism were found in the majority of haplotypes tested, but alleles at two other commonly detected loci had more variation outside of the hypervariable region than within. Our data indicate that the equine major histocompatibility complex is characterized by variation in the complement of class I genes expressed in different haplotypes in addition to the expected allelic polymorphism within loci.

Abstract
To analyse the complete genomic sequences and investigate the intron polymorphism of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A locus, the full-length nucleotide sequences of each major allelic group of HLA-A in the Chinese Han population were determined, including HLA-A*01, A*02, A*03, A*11, A*23, A*24, A*26, A*29, A*30, A*31, A*32, A*33, A*34, A*68, A*69. More than 3.0-kb DNA fragment of HLA-A locus was amplified from 5'-untranslated region to 3'-noncoding region for sequencing. Full-length sequences of the HLA-A alleles were determined using an ABI BigDye((R)) Terminator Cycle Sequencing kit and the HLA-A phylogenetic tree was analysed by dnaman software. Full-length nucleotide sequences of 15 HLA-A alleles (GenBank Accession numbers EU445470-EU445484) were obtained. HLA-A*110101, A*2301, A*300101, A*310102, A*330301, A*340101, A*680102 and A*6901 alleles were firstly reported for complete genomic sequences. Total 247 polymorphism positions were found in the complete genomic sequences of HLA-A alleles and a insertion of 17 nucleotides within intron 3 was observed in several allelic groups. According to the phylogenetic tree of the full-length nucleotide sequences, HLA-A locus was classified into seven major allelic lineages. In this study, complete genomic sequences of common HLA-A alleles were obtained and the data will help us understand the evolution of HLA-A.

Abstract
The population distribution of alleles of the classical HLA class I loci in Cameroon has not been well studied but is of particular interest given the AIDS and malarial epidemics afflicting this population. We investigated the genetic diversity of HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C alleles in remote populations of Cameroon. Subjects from seven small, isolated, indigenous populations (N = 274) in the rainforest of southern Cameroon were typed for HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C alleles using a polymerase chain reaction/sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe assay and sequence analysis. Multiple alleles of the HLA-A (N = 28), HLA-B (N = 41) and HLA-C (N = 21) loci were identified, of which A*2301[allele frequency (AF) = 12.8%], B*5802 (AF = 10.9%) and Cw*0401 (AF = 16.6%) were the most frequent individual alleles and A*02 (AF = 19.0%), B*58 (AF = 15.9%) and Cw*07 (AF = 22.4%) the most common serologically defined groups of alleles. Twenty-six (28.9%) alleles with a frequency of less than 1% (AF < 1%), 39 (43%) with a frequency of 2.0-15.0% (AF = 2.0-15.0%), three globally uncommon alleles [A*2612 (AF = 2.0%), B*4016 (AF = 0.7%) and B*4407 (AF = 1.4%)], and the A*2612-Cw*0701/06/18-B*4407 haplotype (haplotype frequency = 1.3%) were also identified. Heterozygosity values of 0.89, 0.92 and 0.89 were determined for HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C, respectively. The extensive allelic and haplotypic diversity observed in this population may have resulted from varied natural selective pressures on the population, as well as intermingling of peoples from multiple origins. Thus, from an anthropologic perspective, these data highlight the challenges in T-cell-based vaccine development, the identification of allogeneic transplant donors and the understanding of infectious disease patterns in different populations.

Abstract
The presence of a new allele, Cw*0316, was detected in a Caucasian individual through an unusual association. Molecular typing of the individual by sequence-specific primers and sequence-specific oligonucleotides showed the presence of B*58, B*41 and Cw*17. Sequence-based typing revealed the additional presence of another human leucocyte antigen-C allele. The new allele showed four nucleotide differences with Cw*030202 at positions 559, 560, 589 and 594 in exon 3, leading to three codon changes, codons 187, 197 and 198. This resulted in two amino acid substitutions at positions 163 (L-T) and 173 (K-E) of the mature protein, which proved sufficient to abrogate serological reactivity with Cw3-specific sera.

Abstract
More than 590 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B alleles have been identified by sequence analysis. Although the polymorphic exon 2 and 3 sequences of all HLA-B alleles are described, the sequences of the other exons of a number of infrequent B-alleles are unknown. In this study, the exon 1, 4, and 5 sequences of 39 different HLA-B alleles were elucidated by allele-specific sequencing. Overall, these exon sequences showed identity with the majority of the known sequences from the corresponding allele groups, except for four alleles B*4010, B*4415, B*4416, and B*5606. The exon 1 sequence of B*4010 had nucleotide differences with all B*40 alleles, but was identical to the B*54, *55, *56, and *59 allele groups. B*4416 differed from B*440201 at position 988, which was previously considered a conserved position. B*4415 showed exon 1, 4, and 5 sequences deviating from the other B*44 alleles, but identical to B*4501. The exon 1 and 4 sequences of B*5606 differed from other B*56 alleles, but were in complete agreement with B*7801. The deviating exon sequences of B*4415 and B*5606 confirmed the evolutionary origin of these alleles suggested by the sequences of exons 2 and 3. The polymorphism observed in exons 1, 4, and 5 merely reflects the lineage-specificity of HLA-B.

Abstract
We describe a new human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw*07 allele that differs from Cw*0718 by a single-coding nucleotide. DNA-based genotyping identified a clinical sample from a Black African-American patient that differed from known Cw alleles. The allele was amplified independently with a haplo-specific primer and sequenced in its entirety.

Abstract
Anew human leucocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) allele, B*3927, was detected in three individuals of a Caucasian family by routine typing with sequence-specific primers (SSP). Serological typing showed B27 Bw4 and B39 Bw6, whereas SSP detected only B*27 as well as the Bw4 and Bw6 motif. The sequence of exons 1-5 of the new allele was determined by allele-specific amplification and sequencing. The new B*39 allele showed one nucleotide difference with B*390101 at position 299 in exon 2. Codon 100 changed from GAG to GTG, resulting in an amino acid substitution from glutamic acid to valine at position 76 of the mature protein. The haplotype carrying the B*3927 allele was A*010101, B*3927, Cw*120301, DRB1*0101 and DQB1*050101.

Abstract
The elucidation of the sequences of human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B)-exons 1 through 5 has led to an increase of ambiguities with alleles having identical exon 2 and 3 sequences, but differences in other exons. At the moment, 26 HLA-B alleles show such ambiguities which can be resolved by sequencing the exons in which the differences are located. Here we report a sequence-based typing (SBT) strategy for heterozygous sequencing of exons 1, 4, and 5, in addition to the previously described exons 2 and 3. The strategy was validated against a panel of 25 individuals, carrying HLA-B alleles from 33 different allele groups. Correct assignment of all HLA-B alleles was obtained for exons 1 through 5. In addition, the SBT protocol was used to resolve ambiguities in 50 individuals. The ambiguous combinations studied were B*0705/06, B*0801/19N, B*1512/19, B*180101/17N, B*270502/13/0504, B*350101/42/40N, B*390101/0103, B*400102/0101, B*440201/19N/27, and B*510101/11N/0105/30/32. In all cases, sequencing revealed the first allele to be present, except for three individuals with B*07. One of them typed B*0705; the other two were B*0706. The described SBT protocol for sequencing exons 1, 4, and 5 is a valuable tool for resolving ambiguities of HLA-B alleles with differences in these exons, as well as for studying the polymorphism of HLA-B outside exons 2 and 3.
