This study introduces new software for automated Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing. The system accurately assigns HLA-DPB alleles using DNA sequencing, improving upon traditional methods for genetic analysis.

Area of Science:

Immunogenetics
Molecular Biology
Bioinformatics

Background:

Traditional serologic Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing can be inconclusive or difficult.
DNA-based methods like RFLP, SSO, and PCR-SSP are reliable for allele identification.
Advancements in routine DNA sequencing necessitate updated analytical tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe software for automated allele assignment of polymorphic gene systems using DNA sequence data.
Specifically, to assign Human Leukocyte Antigen - DPB (HLA-DPB) alleles based on exon 2 sequence data.
To enable routine, accurate HLA-DPB typing through automated sequence determination and analysis.

Main Methods:

PCR amplification and sequencing of exon 2 of the HLA-DPB gene.
