Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, update November 2010*

The following sequences have been submitted to the Nomenclature Committee since the October 2010 nomenclature update and, following agreed policy, have been assigned official allele designations Marsh et al. (2010). Full details of all sequences will be published in a forthcoming report. Below are listed the newly assigned sequences (Table 1) and confirmations of previously reported sequences (Table 2). The accession number of each sequence is given and these can be used to retrieve the sequence files from 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
