Abstract

The 2008 report of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) data dictionary presents

serologic equivalents of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, and

-DQB1 alleles. The dictionary is an update of the one published in 2004. The data

summarize equivalents obtained by the World Health Organization Nomenclature

Committee for Factors of the HLA System, the International Cell Exchange,

UCLA, the National Marrow Donor Program, recent publications, and individual

laboratories. The 2008 edition includes information on 832 new alleles (685 class I

and 147 class II) and updated information on 766 previously listed alleles (577 class I

and 189 class II). The tables list the alleleswith remarks on the serologic patterns and

the equivalents. The serological equivalents are listed as expert assigned types, and

the data are useful for identifying potential stem cell donors who were typed by

either serology or DNA-based methods. The tables with HLA equivalents are

available as a searchable form on the IMGT/HLA database Web site (http://

www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/hla/dictionary.html).

The 2008 edition of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)

data dictionary is the fifth update; previous versions have

been published in 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2004 (1–4). The

HLA data dictionary is aimed at identifying the serological

types associated with each HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and

-DQB1 allelic product. The dictionary is a reference to help

with the identification of potential hematopoietic stem cell

(HSC) donors. The serologic equivalents of the DNA-

defined alleles can be used to identify potential donors listed

in unrelated donor registry databases and umbilical cord

banks who have been typed by serology. Although the

majority of laboratories useDNA-basedmethods for typing

today, there is a significant number of HLA assignments in

registries and banks that have been determined by serology-

based methods. For example, in the database of almost 7

million volunteers of the NationalMarrowDonor Program

ª 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S � Tissue Antigens 73, 95–170 95

Page 2: HLA Dictionary

(NMDP) in the United States, the percent of serologic

assignments for volunteer donors is still significant, with

45% of the HLA-A and -B loci, 31% of the -C locus, 4% of

the -DRB1 locus, and 37% of the -DQB1 locus assignments

defined serologically. The availability of serologic equiv-

alents allows potentially matched volunteers typed by

serology to be matched to DNA-typed patients.

The number of newly identified HLA alleles grows each

year and since the 2004 publication, 832 new HLA alleles

have been added, including 235HLA-A, 310 -B, 140 -C, 116

-DRB1, 9 -DRB3/4/5, and 22 -DQB1 alleles. Information

has also been updated for 766 previously listed alleles

numbering 158 HLA-A, 303 -B, 116 -C, 133 -DRB1, 13 -

DRB3/4/5, and 43 -DQB1 alleles. This edition of the

dictionary includes all newly defined four-digit alleles

displayed in the IMGT/HLA database (5) to the end of

July 2007 in Tables 1–6.

Information for the 2008 edition of the dictionary has

been contributed from several sources. The World Health

Organization (WHO) serological assignment is taken from

the Nomenclature report 2004 (6) and from data submitted

to the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the

HLA System when a new allele is submitted for consider-

ation. The International Cell Exchange, UCLA program

provides a unique opportunity to obtain the serologic type

of rare and unusual alleles. Updated information for 335

alleles was provided by theCell Exchange for this dictionary

edition. Results are routinely submitted from laboratories

around the world. Half of the nearly 200 laboratories

actively participating in the Cell Exchange are outside the

United States, with laboratories in Canada, Europe, the

Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand,

and South America. The serology typing data from this

program continue to enhance the dictionary information.

The NMDP data for 454 alleles have been updated with

serologic typing information. The 13 IHWS data have been

taken from the 2004 edition of the data dictionary. There

have been no further updates on these data. The artificial

neural network (NN) analysis (7) has been rerun to provide

valuable data on the most likely serological result for

a particular allele. The NN analysis now includes data for

alleles of the HLA-C and -DQB1 loci. In addition,

serological typing information has been submitted from

expert laboratories. The serology data from all sources have

been summarized by the authors in the second column of

Tables 1–6 as the expert assigned type.

WHO nomenclature: allele and serologicassignments

The 2008 edition of the dictionary contains all alleles from

the IMGT/HLA database in release 2.18.0 July 2007. Only

the four-digit numbering of alleles is listed in the tables

because the fifth and sixth digits (silent substitutions) are

not expected to alter the antigenic expression. Nonex-

pressed alleles with unique four-digit designations are in-

cluded for completeness. Nonexpressed alleles, which share

a four-digit designation with an expressed allele (e.g.

B*15010102N and B*15010101), have been excluded from

the tables.

The serologic assignment (third column of Tables 1–6) is

taken from the HLA Nomenclature report 2004 (6).

Serologic specificities of newly identified alleles are only

included when reported by the allele contributors as being

identical or very similar to the standard specificity

associated with the allele group (e.g. A1 associated with

A*01 alleles). Likewise, the contributor may report an allele

to be expressed as a serologically variant antigen. Such

information is included in the nomenclature report under

the heading ‘previous equivalents’ and is included here in

the ‘Comments’ column of Tables 1–6. In some cases, the

serological definition given in the WHO Nomenclature

Report and displayed in the third column has been derived

from the previous versions of the dictionary, as these data

were considered sufficiently compelling to be adopted as the

WHO value. Such instances of dictionary-derived WHO

values are indicated by a footnote in Tables 1–6.

International Cell Exchange, UCLA

The International Cell Exchange, UCLA provided data

showing serologic equivalents for 49 HLA-A, 128 -B, 35 -C,

88 -DRB1, 8 -DRB3, 3 -DRB4, 5 -DRB5, and 19 -DQB1

alleles. The latest HLA class I analysis has been updated

with the inclusion of data from 136 new samples, cells 1185–

1320, from healthy individuals, characterized between

February 2004 and November 2007. Each cell was typed

by an average number of 100 laboratories, ranging from

a low of 83 to a high of 118. The parallel typing for HLA-A,

-B, and -C alleles usingDNA-basedmethodswas performed

by an average of 46 laboratories, ranging from 43 to 51

reporting results for the monthly studies.

The HLA class II analysis was updated with the typing

information from 68 B lymphoblastoid cell lines (TER335-

402) from the same time period, February 2004 through

November 2007. Each cell was typed serologically by an

average number of 13 laboratories, ranging from a low of 8

to a high of 18. The parallel typing forHLA-DRB1, -DRB3,

-DRB4, -DRB5, and -DQB1alleles using DNA-based

methods was performed by an average of 80 laboratories,

ranging from a low of 66 to a high of 87.

HLA serologic equivalents have been analyzed in

heterozygous samples only if the other HLA allelic product

would not interfere with the serologic recognition. The

associated serologic specificities as reported by the partici-

pating laboratories are given with the lowest and highest

percentage recognition, shown in brackets in column 4 of

Tables 1–6.

HLA alleles and serologic types R. Holdsworth et al.

Page 19: HLA Dictionary

National Marrow Donor Program

Assignments made using the expectation

maximization algorithm

The 2008 data set includes only those typings from US

volunteer donors where both serologic and allele-level results

havebeen reported for theHLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, or -DQB1

loci. As in past versions of the dictionary, the expectation

maximization (EM) algorithm was used to obtain the cor-

relation between alleles and serologic assignments. Readers

are referred to previous versions of the dictionary that des-

cribe theuse of theEMalgorithmand thenuances of thedata.

In this version, data for alleles serologically typed in 20 or

more donors (cells tested) have not been updated and

remain the same as that shown in the 2004 dictionary (4).

For these alleles, we believe that adequate data have been

accumulated to define the serologic assignments.

A subset of theEMdata including the alleleswith counts of

less than 20 in the last dictionary version plus newly described

alleleswas analyzed.TheEMalgorithmprovides anunbiased

assignment of serologic specificities using information from

all cells carrying the allele in question. In addition, experts

reviewed the serologic assignments for all cells carrying an

allele in this category and assigned serologic specificities.

Uninformative cells were eliminated and known serologic

cross-reactivity was considered in the assignment. The

information from the EM algorithm and the results from

the review were compared and final serologic assignments

were made. The table shows the predicted serologic assign-

ments and the percent of informative individuals carrying

those assignments. The percentages listed in the table are

derived from the review of typings as described above; this

differs from previous years in which the percentages were

derived from the EM algorithm. This change will better

reflect the serologic assignment of these less frequent alleles.

In theEMalgorithm, percent assignments are skewed by cells

carrying a second more common allele with the same

serologic assignment. For example, cells carrying both

A*0201 and A*0208 frequently appear. The EM assignment

is influenced by the more common A*0201 allele resulting in

a lower percent assignment for A*0208 (78%). Expert review

eliminated these uninformative cells (i.e. carrying both

A*0201 and A*0208) resulting in an A2 assignment for

A*0208 of 100%.

The information for 454 alleles, including 122 HLA-A,

200 -B, 50 -C, 73 -DRB1, and 9 -DQB1, was reviewed and

updated. The reviewed and updated alleles are indicated by

a footnote in the tables. If an allele appears five times or less,

the serologic assignment(s) should be considered as only an

approximation of the serologic reactivity of the resultant

antigen. It should be noted that the number of individuals

carrying each allele shown in the tables might not be the

total number of volunteer donors carrying the allele in theTable

R. Holdsworth et al. HLA alleles and serologic types

Page 70: HLA Dictionary

NMDPdatabase; some individuals carried the allele but did

not have associated serologic typing. In some cases, the

number of cells tested is less than the number in the last

dictionary. In these cases, the typing assignment may have

changed or further data suggest that the typing result was

not informative.

Neural network

An artificial NN was used to predict serologic assignments

for alleles lacking this information and to support serologic

assignments from other sources (7). The same set of alleles

used in previous iterations was used to train the NN. The

training alleles and the broad and split serologic assign-

ments used in the training are indicated in the tables. In this

2008 report, 10 NN were run instead of the five previously

run to increase accuracy of the predictions. After training of

10 independent NN for each locus, the NN were used to

predict the serologic types associated with polymorphic

amino acid sequences of the remaining allelic products and

results summarized from the 10 networks. Primary assign-

ments are listed in one column, secondary assignments in the

‘Comments’ column. The criteria used for inclusion are

described in the 2004 dictionary. Some allelic products with

unusual combinations of serologic epitopes did not receive

an assignment from the NN or have received varying

assignments in the different published iterations of the

network analysis. For example, A*0255, an allele evaluated

in all three iterations of the NN received varying assign-

ments from the NN. In the first NN (7), A2 was assigned as

the primary specificity with A28 and A69 as secondary

specificities; in the second NN (4), A28 was primary with

A69 as secondary; and in this iteration summarizing 10NN,

no specificity was assigned (serologic blank) and A2, A69,

and A28 were assigned as secondary specificities.

It should be noted that a few cases were observed where

the NN did not assign the same serologic specificity as

expected based on the validation data set. For example,

B*1529was assigned as B71 by theNNwhen previously this

allele had been assigned as B15 by serology. This

discrepancy could be because of limited serologic typing

data or because of limitations of the NN prediction. The

data from the NN can be viewed at http://bioinformatics.

nmdp.org/neuralnetwork2007.

The use of a NN to predict the serologic assignments of

antigens encoded by theHLA-C and -DQB1 loci is new. The

alleles with well-defined serology used to train the NN and

to validate the network assignments are indicated in

Tables 3 and 6.

tested with a common set of well-characterized reagents

including mainly monoclonal antibodies (12) and supple-

mentary allosera. Tables 1–3 show the number of panel

cells for each allele included in the analysis, the assigned

specificity and, where appropriate, comments on the sero-

logical expression of that allele, as reported by the 13th

IHWS serology and HLA phenotype component (8, 9).

These data have not been updated from the 2004 edition of

the HLA data dictionary.

Information obtained from other sources

Data on the serological expression of new alleles have been

submitted fromHLA laboratories. However, because many

laboratories no longer perform serological typing or use

commercial monoclonal reagents, there are only a small

number of alleles that have been tested in this way. In this

edition of the dictionary, only 23 HLA class I alleles have

been submitted with serological information. The ‘Com-

ments’ column in the tables refers to information from

publications (listed at end of document) and other sources

that describe serologic expression of new alleles. It must be

noted, however, that some of these data are based on small

sample numbers tested by a single laboratory.

Expert assigned type

The expert assigned type for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB

3/4/5, and -DQB1 alleles is the combination of all serologic

equivalents information. This may help identify serologic

equivalents when there are differences with theWHOHLA-

designated serologic assignments (e.g. B*4005), or where

multiple assignments are possible such as hybrid molecules,

or where more antigen assignments are given (e.g. A* 3204,

Table 1 and B*1303, B*1304, Table 2). Occasionally, the

expert assigned type is based on the NN assignment;

however, while this should be considered with caution, the

NN may be the only information available.

Use of the dictionary in a HSC donor search

The HLA dictionary is a valuable tool in the search for

a matched unrelated stem cell source for a patient in need. It

contains the most current data, from multiple sources, on

the frequency of the phenotype detected for a particular

allele. An alternate patient phenotype can be identified to

assist with serologic types that may be potential matches for

a particular allele, for example B*4807 types as B48 (33%)

and B60 (42%). The search report for a patient with B*4807

will include B48-positive donors, but an alternate pheno-

type search using B60 would identify serologically typed

B60 donors with potential to match. In addition, some

alleles routinely type as blank by serology. The dictionary

can help determine whether donors with serologic blanks

(apparent homozygotes) carry the allele of interest.

Some alleles in the tables are listed with more than one

common serological assignment. This indicates that the

serological pattern is not clear, for example B*4416 has both

B47 and B44 reactivity. The ‘Comments’ section may

provide further information for serological reactivity in

some cases. In addition, many laboratories are not able to

identify many of the WHO-designated HLA specificities.

The International Cell Exchange, UCLA data show that

some of the newer specificities are rarely used but are often

designated by their antigen equivalents, for example A2

instead of A203. Although subsequent cell exchanges do

improve the detection rate, these assignments remain

difficult. It is useful to refer to the percentage recogni-

tion information when selecting alternative antigens for

alternative searches.

Searchable links between alleles and serologic

assignments

A searchable form of the dictionary is available through the

IMGT/HLA database (5) at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/

hla/. This information can then be used byHSC registries to

routinely update their matching algorithms and to support

other search and matching activities.
