Abstract excerpt
To find a specific method for HLA-B27 typing for the diagnosis of rheumatic disorders, we extensively tested the single-step B27-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) described by Dominguez et al. (Immunogenetics 1992;36:277-82). This method, which relies on specific primer recognition of a sequence in the third exon (unique to the B27-allele), was used for screening of 270 characterized blood samples, 57 of...
