Abstract:
We report the identification of two novel major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related chain A (MICA) alleles. MICA*054 has a nucleotide substitution of A to G at position 871 (codon 268), encoding an amino acid change of serine to glycine in the alpha-3 domain. MICA*056 has a nucleotide substitution at position 758 of G to C resulting in the substitution of tryptophan for serine at codon 230, also in the alpha-3 domain.
