Abstract excerpt

We describe a streamlined method for the simultaneous identification of alleles of the human platelet antigens (HPA) 1-5. The method employs the polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). Although PCR-SSP has been applied to HPA genotyping, all methods previously describe...
