Abstract excerpt
The HLA-DRB1 locus is one of the most polymorphic HLA class II loci and rapid and accurate typing of this polymorphism is important both in bone-marrow transplantation, analysis of disease association and in forensic medicine. The allelic variation at DRB1 is characterized by combinations of a limited number of amino-acid motifs, reducing the resolution of a typing strategy based on a single PCR and subsequent...
