Abstract
The present invention provides a process for determining genotypes in highly polymorphic systems by polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA or genomic DNA and direct sequencing polymerase chain reaction products using oligonucleotide primers. More specifically, Class I HLA genotypes can be unambiguously determined in any subject in 16-24 hours by direct sequencing of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C transcripts enzymatically amplified and sequenced using a limited number of selected oligonucleotides.
