Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification techniques are replacing traditional serological methods in histocompatibility labs. Method selection depends on factors like turnaround time, required resolution, and sample volume, with cost being a significant consideration.

Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Clinical Laboratory Science

Background:

  • Traditional serological techniques are being superseded by molecular methods in histocompatibility testing.
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification offers diverse approaches for allele identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the landscape of PCR-based techniques in histocompatibility laboratories.
  • To discuss factors influencing the selection of appropriate PCR amplification strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current PCR amplification methodologies used in histocompatibility testing.
  • Analysis of factors impacting method choice: specificity, resolution, time, and sample throughput.

Main Results:

  • PCR-based methods offer variable specificity, either during amplification or in a subsequent step.
  • Key decision-making factors for laboratories include turnaround time, required resolution, and sample volume.

    • Conclusions:

    • The selection of PCR techniques in histocompatibility testing is a multifactorial decision.
    • Ongoing development of new methods is noted, but equipment costs present a barrier to adoption.
