This study identified new Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) A*24 subtypes, including HLA-A*2423, within individuals previously classified as HLA-A2403. These findings refine HLA typing and have implications for antibody reactivity.

Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Serology

Background:

  • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing is crucial for transplantation and disease association studies.
  • Previous serological and low-resolution PCR-SSP methods grouped several A*24 alleles under the HLA-A2403 specificity.
  • The existence of specific subtypes within the HLA-A2403 group required further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate and characterize specific HLA-A*24 alleles within individuals previously identified as HLA-A2403.
  • To investigate the frequency of these alleles in a population.
  • To understand the implications of these findings for HLA antibody reactivity.

Main Methods:

  • High-resolution typing of 41 subjects previously assigned as HLA-A2403.

  • Analysis of allele groups including A*2403, A*2410, A*2418, A*2422, A*2423, and A*2433.
  • Frequency determination of A*2403/10/18/22/23/33 alleles in 26,826 Welsh blood donors.
  • Identification of HLA-A*24-bearing haplotypes.

    • Main Results:

    • HLA-A*2423 was identified in one subject.
    • Among 41 subjects, 36 were A*2403, 3 were A*2410, and 2 were A*2433.
    • Subjects with A*2410 and A*2433 also typed as A2403.
    • The frequency of A*2403/10/18/22/23/33 alleles was determined in the Welsh blood donor population.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully delineated specific HLA-A*24 alleles, refining the classification beyond the broad HLA-A2403 designation.
    • Identified HLA-A*24 subtypes (A*2403, A*2410, A*2433) share serological reactivity with HLA-A2403.
    • Proposed that HLA-A9/A24 antibodies targeting epitopes 166D and 167G may not react with these specific A*24 products, impacting serological typing.
