METHOD FOR TYPING OF HLA ALLELES

摘要

The present invention relates to the typing of HLA alleles. The sequence of exon 2 and exon 3 of the alleles HLA-B*3913, HLA-B*1406 and HLA-B*51 new and of exon 2 of the alleles HLA-DRB1*0820, HLA-DRB1*04 new and HLA-DRB4*01 new are disclosed. The present invention relates to methods for typing of said alleles. According to a preferred embodiment, said typing comprises the following steps: i) amplifying a relevant fragment of said alleles using at least one suitable pair of primers; ii) hybridizing the amplification product of step i) to at least one probe that specifically hybridizes to a target region comprising one or more polymorphic nucleotides in said relevant fragment; iii) determining from the result of step ii) the absence or presence of said alleles in the sample. The present invention further provides primers and probes to be used in said methods for typing. A diagnostic kit comprising said primers and probes is also part of the present invention.
