Parallel Donor Genotyping for 46 Selected Blood Group and 4 Human Platelet Antigens Using High-Throughput MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

Protocol
Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB, volume 1310)

Abstract

Most blood group antigens are defined by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Highly accurate MALDI-TOF MS has proven its potential in SNP genotyping and was therefore chosen for blood donor oriented genotyping with high-throughput capability, e.g., 380 samples per day. The Select Module covers a total of 36 SNPs in two single-tube reactions, representative of 46 blood group and 4 human platelet antigens. Using this tool, confirmatory blood group typing for RhD, RhCE, Kell, Kidd, Duffy, MN, Ss, and selected rare antigens is performed on a routine basis.
