Rapid DNA typing for class II HLA antigens: subtyping of DRw52-associated DRB1 alleles.
Tissue antigens - 1 May 1993
Horne C, Keown P A
Abstract excerpt
Serologic typing for MHC class II antigens is incapable of identifying important subtypes for certain DRB1 alleles and occasionally leads to errors of assignment, particularly with the DR antigens associated with DRw52. To simplify DNA typing of DRw52-associated DRB1 alleles, we have developed a new rapid method using PCR-RFLP. The PCR-RFLP method is based on allele-specific amplification followed by digestion of...
