Abstract
Although several DNA-based human platelet antigens (HPA) typing techniques, such as PCR-SSP and PCR-SSO, have been established, the typing errors and the lack of interlaboratory reproducibility are still the issues of concerns. In the present study, polymerase chain reaction primers were designed for identification of all the phenotypically different HPA-1 to HPA-17w types by sequencing-based typing (SBT) method using genomic DNA samples. No discrepancies were observed between PCR-SSP typing and SBT typing in typing a panel of HPA-typed platelet donors that included all common HPA types and the rare HPA-1b, 2b, 3b, and 6bw homozygous donors.
