title: [The application of molecular biology techniques in HLA-typing].
abstract: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is an important immunogenetic system. It plays a key role in immunoresponsiveness and hematopoietic stem cell and organ transplantation. The development of modern medicine and tissue typing promotes the combination of molecular biology techniques with HLA typing, and improves the accuracy and practicability of HLA typing. In this review, recent advances were concisely introduced in research of HLA typing on the application of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP), single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP), sequence specific primer (SSP), flow cytometry, gene chip, sequencing based typing, virtual DNA analysis and so on.
