摘要:
The invention is a method of detecting or assessing solid organ graft (transplant) rejection by detecting donor-specific HLA alleles in a blood sample of a graft (transplant) recipient. The invention further comprises a method of detecting the presence of maternal cells in a blood sample of an offspring.
摘要:
The invention comprises a method of determining the fraction of fetal DNA in maternal blood or plasma using HLA locus wherein the maternal and fetal HLA alleles are detected and quantified by clonal or digital methods.
摘要:
A method for detecting one or more HLA sequence types is described that comprises the steps of: amplifying a plurality of first amplicons from a double stranded nucleic acid sample, wherein the first amplicons are amplified with a plurality of pairs of nucleic acid primers that define exons 2 and 3 of both strands of HLA loci from the group consisting of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C; amplifying the first amplicons to produce a plurality of populations of second amplicons, wherein each population of second amplicons is clonally amplified from one of the first amplicons; sequencing the plurality of populations of second amplicons to generate a nucleic acid sequence composition for each of the plurality of second amplicons; and detecting variation in the sequence composition from one or more of the second amplicons for one or more of the HLA loci..
