title: DNA typing of HLA-B27 by polymerase chain reaction.
abstract: To find a specific method for HLA-B27 typing, we tested an HLA-B27-specific polymerase chain reaction. This method was used for screening 100 randomly selected blood donors, 10 of them being HLA-B27 positive. A flow cytometric method and this PCR method were compared.
