A molecular biological investigation of the Kell blood group system

1995-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Molecular biology techniques are becoming increasingly widely used in the field of transfusion science. The investigation of the Kell blood group system, using a selection of these techniques, is described in this thesis. The first part of the investigation involved the synthesis of KEL cDNA from total RNA by reverse transcription and its subsequent amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The resu...
