Abstract excerpt
In this paper, we present a novel sequencing based typing strategy for the HLA-DRB1, 3, 4 and 5 loci. The new approach is based on a group-specific amplification from intron 1 to intron 2 according to the serologically-defined antigens. For this purpose, we have determined the 3' 500 bp-fragment of intron 1 and the 5' 340 bp-fragment of intron 2 of all serological antigens and their most frequent subtypes. We...
