title: [Detection for KIR gene with use of SYBR green I real-time PCR].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develope a novel real-time PCR method for KIR genotyping.
  
  
  METHODS
  KIR genotyping is performed using 16 real-time PCR reactions,  each containing two-three KIR-specific primers,  a pair of internal positive control primers and a fluorescence dye,  SYBR Green I. By the analysis of the Tm and the characteristic of the melting curve of the amplified products,  we identified the presence or absence of 16 KIR genes. A variety of dilution folds were made to detect the sensitivity of this method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  KIR genes were effectively genotyped by the analysis of the melting curve. This method can be used to detect KIR genes even from 0.1 ng of DNA.  The feasibility of this method was tested by genotyping 10 DNA samples from Peripheral blood and 10 DNA samples from cervical cell.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We developed a novel real-time PCR assay with SYBR Green I,  which is a simple,  rapid,  sensitive,  real-time and environmental method. It provides the possibility of the automated KIR genotyping.
