Abstract excerpt
The two DR1-associated cellular specificities Dw1 and Dw20, as well as DR'Br' (Dw'BON'), cannot be unequivocally assigned by serological typing or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. We have developed and compared two polymerase chain reaction-based (PCR) typing methods for distinguishing these DRB1 alleles; allele-specific amplification of DRB1*01 alleles followed by an agarose gel...
