Abstract excerpt
Molecular testing is gradually replacing standard typing techniques in the field of HLA because it allows higher resolution, which has significant functional implications. Although several techniques have been so far described for this purpose, the definitive means to determine which alleles are present in a particular sample is to identify their sequence. We describe a simplified method for typing HLA-A, B, and...
