Construction of microarrays for genotyping of DQA using unmodified 45-mer oligonucleotide

Abstract: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II system is strongly connected to immunological response and its compatibility between tissues is critical in transplantation. The simple robust typing analyses of HLA genes are extremely important. In this paper, we developed an approach based on microarray technology for genotyping of DQA gene. The microarrays were constructed with a total 31 unmodified 45-mer oligonucleotide. The second exon of DQA gene was amplified, and allowed to hybridize with the array. DQA geno… Show more

“…For each allele, we only consider the amino acids located from the “start marker” to the “end marker” since this region constitutes the whole of exon 2. The class II MHC gene exon 2 encodes the peptide-binding sites, thereby contributing to the diversity in antigen presentation [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The DRA (HLA-DR -chain) allele is very monomorphic; in contrast, both the DQA (HLA-DQ -chain) and DPA (HLA-DP -chain) alleles contain the polymorphisms specifying the peptide binding specificities [ 26 ], so we therefore considered the polymorphisms of both the and chains in the superMHC model development.…”

“…The MBMS was also employed to identify genotypes of the DQA1 gene. The design of the probe set corresponding to all alleles of exon2 of DQA1 gene, primers, and PCR amplification were described in detail in our previous papers . The microbeads attached with the DQA probe set were arranged in PDMS microchannels with an order of A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, D1, D2, D3, E1, E2, F1, F2, F3, F4, G1, G2, G3, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, I1, I2, I3, I4, J1, J2, and Pos (Table S2 in the Supporting Information).…”

“…After hydration, the slides were exposed to UV light at 950 mJ/cm 2 in Stratalinker 2400 (Stratagene, CA, USA), then rinsed in boiling water for 2 min to denature the PCR product followed by rinsing in 100% alcohol for 1 min, dried by centrifugation at 1000 r.p.m. for 1 min, and stored in a vacuum oven [ 31 ].…”
