Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, update December 2001

Nomenclature for Factors of the HLA System, Update December 2001 Compiled by Steven G. E. Marsh for the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System The following sequences have been submitted to the Nomenclature Committee since the November 2001 nomenclature update and, following agreed policy, have been assigned official allele designations. Full details of all sequences will be published in a forthcoming report. Below are listed the newly assigned sequences, confirmations of previously reported sequences, and some sequences which are corrections of those originally re-

ported. 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.
