The Past, Present and Future of HLA Typing

... specificity could be high enough to detect single nucleotide differences consistently. Several probes could be used to identify an array of HLA alleles. Today, radioactive probes are seldom used, and sequence specific oligonucleotides are now labeled with fluorescent dyes, biotin, digoxigenin, or directly w...
