title: [Gene amplification with PCR and sequence-specific HLA oligotyping].
abstract: Genetic polymorphism in the HLA-class II region has been identified by the analysis of the polymerase-chain reaction (PCR) products using sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO). The PCR-SSO method permits precise and direct analysis of allelic variations with as little as 1 microgram of genomic DNA. The standardized, uniform hybridization and critical wash protocol of the Eurotransplant-typing kit [2] enables HLA-typing independent of gene expression and lymphocytes quality. One of the advantages of this technique is that the definition of subtypes is much better than is typing by serology.
