Dr. Koelle,

    Hi.  I might be able to help you with numbers 1 and 2.  The database I
work at, Chemical Abstracts Service, has the "Tissue Antigens" article by
Bodmer online (bibliographic info., abstract, and indexing).  We also have
several hundred HLA protein and nucleic acid sequences available online
(mixture of gene, cDNA, protein, etc.) along with the corresponding journal
or patent abstracts.  Hope this helps!
