All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.Clinical Information
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes (HLA-DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1, -DPB1) are a part of the major histocompatibility gene complex that encodes for proteins involved in immune recognition.
This assay is designed to provide low-to-medium resolution for HLA class II typing. Low-to-medium resolution defines the typing at first field (antigen or allele group level). This contrasts with high-resolution typing, which defines typing at second field or higher (allele level).
