Novel Sensitive, Specific and Rapid Pharmacogenomic test for the Prediction of Abacavir Hypersensitivity Reaction: HLA-B*57:01 Detection by Real-Time PCR
1 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
AIM: International HIV treatment guidelines recommend HLA-B*57:01 typing before abacavir administration, in order to reduce the incidence of abacavir hypersensitivity reactions, the major cause of early therapy discontinuation. A fast, sensitive and specific test for HLA-B*57:01 detection has been developed in the present study. MATERIALS & METHODS: Two sets of sequence-specific primers were designed, and...
