Abstract excerpt
Human platelet antigen (HPA) systems consist of more than eight biallelic antigen polymorphisms in which a base pair substitution leads to change in an amino acid of a glycoprotein expressed on the platelet. HPA typing is essential in the diagnosis and treatment for a variety of diseases. We developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method to detect HPA-1 through HPA-8w. In this method, the amplified PCR...
