Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a DRB haplotype in a sample comprising nucleic acid from a primate cell, said method comprising: amplifying the D6S2878 microsatellite from the nucleic acid, wherein said amplifying comprises contacting the nucleic acids with a primer pair selected from: a first primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 and a second primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3; a first primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2 and a second primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4 or 5; and a first primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 6 and a second primer consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3, 4 or 5; detecting the length of the amplified microsatellite; and correlating the detected length of the amplified microsatellite with the DRB haplotype in the sample, wherein the DRB haplotype is defined by the number of DRB genes and the specific DRB alleles of said DRB genes.
