Abstract:
We designed a set of 35 polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) in 29 SSP mixtures to assign 29 HLA-B*27 4-digit level alleles (B*2701-B*2721 and B*2723-B*2730). This was used in conjunction with our 41 PCR-SSP primer mixture low-resolution HLA-B typing set to fully differentiate B*27 from all other HLA-B alleles. Successful typing set validation used 521 B*27 samples covering 13 (B*2701-B*2710 and B*2712, B*2717, B*2723) alleles. The distribution of B*27 alleles was determined in a random population of 4020 local blood donors and the use of PCR-SSP B*27 typing in our routine flow cytometry-based HLA-B27/B2708 typing strategy is described.
