Abstract excerpt
Identification of HLA-DR, DQ and DP alleles at the DNA level is an important tool for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We recently encountered an aplastic anemia patient for whom the ability of molecular HLA typing to utilize alternative sources of DNA proved to be fundamental for her treatment. After repeated failures to obtain HLA typing using peripheral blood, HLA-DR and DQ alleles were identified by...
