Abstract excerpt
It has remained to be established that matching of the HLA-DP antigen plays a key role in bone marrow transplantation (BMT), mainly due to the difficulty of the primed lymphocyte test (PLT) method for DP typing. We previously reported an efficient technique for HLA class II genotyping, by digestion of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified genes with restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP)...
