Abstract excerpt
The technique of universal heteroduplex generator (UHG) crossmatching has been developed to permit comparison of HLA-DPB1 alleles between two or more individuals. It offers a rapid and simple method of screening prospective bone marrow donors for HLA-DPB1 compatibility with the recipient. We present the nucleotide sequence and describe the method of construction of the DPB1 UHG. To test its effectiveness, 56...
