Abstract excerpt
AIM: In prevention of allopurinol and abacavir hypersensitivity, screening HLA-B*58:01/57:01 has been highly recommended prior to commencing these therapies. Therefore, we aimed at developing and validating a rapid and robust screening method for HLA-B*58:01/57:01. MATERIALS & METHODS: Real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan probes was employed to detect HLA-B*58:01/57:01. RESULTS: The newly developed...
