Frequency of HLA-B alleles in a caucasoid population determined by a two-stage PCR-SSOP typing strategy

High resolution PCR-SSOP typing methods for HLA-B identification have been established and applied to a Northern Ireland population, using large enough numbers to give dependable allele frequencies. The six systems, which operate independently of each other, are intended for use as secondary typing systems following HLA-B identification with a medium resolution PCR-SSOP technique.
