Additional information

The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession numbers M77670 (DRB1 * AB3), M77671 (DRB1 * AB4), MM77672 (DRB1 * AB2), MM77673 (DRB1*A01), M81670 (DRB1*0410), and M81700 (DRB1 * 0411).

The names DRB1 * 1408 (DRB1 * A01), DRB1 * 1409 (DRB1*AB4), DRB1 * 1410 (DRB1 * AB3), and DRB1 * 0412 (DRB1 * AB2) have been officially assigned by the WHO Nomenclature Committee in November 1991. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions previously stated (WHO Nomenclature Committee 1990), 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.
