Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is essential to carry out HLA-class I restricted antigenic peptide-based cancer immunotherapy. To establish a one-step polymerase chain reaction–sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) method, we designed two novel HLA-A24-specific primer sets and determined the optimal conditions for specific amplification. Then, we performed HLA-A24 typing of two healthy donors’ and 17 cancer patients’ peripheral blood with serological typing and PCR-SSP typing. Eleven of the 19 cases were determined HLA-A24-positive by the PCR-SSP method precisely; however, five cases showed false positive with serological analysis. Thus, for HLA-A24 typing in the Japanese population, the PCR-SSP method is faster and more accurate than serological typing.
