Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that the provision of HLA matched tissue for corneal transplantation would be beneficial for graft survival especially in high risk patients. In this study we report the application of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based tissue typing procedure to type cadaveric donor material. Using beta-globin gene amplification as a test system we found that cornea, corneal rim, conjunctiva, sclera,...
