ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides primers for the polymerase chain reaction amplification of a nucleic acid sequence encompassing the polymorphic regions of the second, third, and fourth exons of the HLA Class I B gene (HLA-B). The polymorphic regions of the second, third, and fourth exons of the HLA-B gene contain sufficient variability so that each allele is uniquely identified by the nucleic acid sequence within these regions. The primers and amplification methods of the present invention enable genotyping at the HLA-B locus using samples from a variety of sources and for detecting allelic variants not distinguishable by serological methods. The HLA-B DNA genotyping can be used for tissue typing, determining individual identity, and identifying disease susceptible individuals.
