Patent ID: 7732138

Claim:
A method for rapid identification of HLA Class II genotype of a subject, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a sample comprising a template nucleic acid from the subject; (b) amplifying the template nucleic acid with primers having the sequences of SEQ ID NOs 97-106, thereby generating HLA amplicons; and (c) hybridizing the HLA amplicons with immobilized oligonucleotide probes having the sequences of SEQ ID NOs 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12-15, 17, 19-21, 24, 26, 29-55, 57-64, 66, 67, 69-88, and 90-92 wherein the resulting hybridization profile would indicate the HLA Class II genotype of the subject.
