Abstract excerpt
Because of the inherent difficulties in allele assignment with HLA-DR serological typing, in 1993 our organ procurement organization-based HLA laboratory replaced serology with the molecular method of polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primer mixes (PCR-SSP) to type for DR and DQ a...
