Abstract excerpt
We have developed a closed-tube assay for determination of the chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) 32-bp deletion allele, which protects against infections with HIV and modulates susceptibility to a variety of inflammatory diseases. This assay utilizes dissociation analysis of amplified products in the presence of Sybr Green I for allele discrimination. After having established robust conditions for the assay, we...
