Design and verification of the reagent kit for high-productive HLA-typing of potential donors of hemopoietic stem cells.

Abstract

The work describes the development of a reagent kit for high-performance HLA-typing using the Illumina MiSeq System platform. The developed reagent kit contains all the necessary components for target enrichment of five HLA genes, preparation of libraries, and software for automatic data analysis. The reagent kit verified on a 93 DNA samples with known genotypes. During the verification, the sensitivity and specificity of the reagent kit for each of the HLA loci were determined - for A and B they were 1.0 and 1.0, respectively, for the C-1.0 and 0.99 locus, for the DRB1 locus 0.98 and 0.99, for the DQB1 locus 0.98 and 0.93.
