Allelic Discrimination by TaqMan-PCR for Genotyping of Human Neutrophil Antigens

Methods Mol Biol. 2015:1310:205-12. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-2690-9_17.

Abstract

Neutrophil antigens are implicated in a variety of clinical conditions, including neonatal immune neutropenia, transfusion-related acute lung injury, refractoriness to granulocyte transfusions, febrile transfusion reactions, and autoimmune neutropenia. In this report, we describe simultaneous genotyping of human neutrophil antigens (HNA)-1, -3, -4, and -5 using PCR with allele-specific TaqMan probes and end-point fluorescence detection, which is a robust, rapid, and reproducible method, allowing for high-throughput genotyping.
