We have developed a high throughput HLA typing methodology that is a modification of the standard sequence-specific primer method. This approach is distinct from other methods using an automated DNA analyzer, as more than one gene is typed in a single lane. We have optimized the method for use on an ABI 373 automated genotyping machine. Primers were designed to preferentially amplify DNA fragments of the generic allelic groups of the DQA1 and DQB1 loci. PCR products representing alleles at the DQA1 locus were amplified using a different fluorescent dye than the PCR products from the DQB1 locus. Only three PCR reactions are required for low resolution typing of DQA1 and DQB1. Use of different labeled primers enables genotyping for both loci in a single gel lane, allowing for 64 samples to be typed at low resolution for both DQA1 and DQB1 on a single gel. Automated allele assignments were determined based on DNA migration distance through a polyacrylamide gel using a standard genotype allele-calling program. Accuracy of this method is greater than 98% for both loci. The strategy described here may be adapted to include more loci or to produce higher resolution typing of alleles encoded by these loci. It can be readily optimized for use on other slab gel or capillary electrophoresis systems.
