Patent ID: 10704095

Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and kit for highly precise DNA typing, in which ambiguity derived from phase ambiguity is eliminated. The present invention provides a method for the DNA typing of HLA, which is characterized by comprising: (1) a step of preparing a set of primers which can respectively anneal specifically to an upstream region and a downstream region of each of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPA1 and HLA-DPB1 gene in the nucleotide sequence for the human genome, and a set of primers which can respectively anneal specifically to exon-2 and a 3′-side non-translated region in HLA-DRB1; (2) a step of carrying out the PCR amplification of a sample to be tested (DNA) using the sets of primers; (3) a step of determining the nucleotide sequence for a PCR-amplified product; and (4) an optional step of carrying out the homology search in a data base.
