PCR-RFLP

INTRODUCTION

The authors have developed the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method based on the digestion of PCR-amplified DNAs with allele-specific enzymes as a reliable, convenient, and practical HLA class II DNA typing technique,^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} rather than being based on hybridization with multiple sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSO) (Figure 1). The modified PCR-RFLP method incorporating informative enzymes, which have a single recognition site in some alleles but none in other alleles in the amplified regions, is simpler and more sensitive because genotypes...
