Abstract excerpt
We present a set of primer mixes for the allele-specific typing of the HLA-B*15 group by PCR-SSP. The set comprises 46 primer mixes which are designed to unequivocally resolve all but two of the 666 possible combinations of the B*15 alleles, B*1501-37 (B*1536 sequence unavailable). A core subset of 34 of the 46 mixes can be used alone to give a high resolution B*15 typing set. This allows for the identification...
