Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Human platelet antigen (HPA) genotyping is a valuable tool for typing platelets to assist in the management of alloimmunized thrombocytopenic patients. We describe, for the first time, 5' nuclease assays (NA) to genotype HPA-5 and -15, and improved 5'-NA to genotype HPA-1, -2 and -3, by utilizing minor groove binder (MGB) and non-fluorescent quencher (NFQ) technology. Superior probe...
