HLA Typing Kits

Brief Introduction

Human leucocyte antigens (HLA) are glycoproteins on the surface of almost every cell in the body. HLA testing is essential for finding compatible donors and recipients for stem cell or organ transplantation and for diagnosing some autoimmune or inflammatory diseases associated with specific HLA types. HLA testing can include matching transplant recipients to suitable stem cell or organ transplant donors, detecting antibodies to HLA antigens that may lead to graft rejection or platelet transfusion failure, and identifying certain HLA types associated with increased risk or protection from disease.

CD Genomics has extensive knowledge in PCR assays and we offer HLA assay kits to help clients analyze genetic variation in specific proteins on the cell surface as a means of predicting drug hypersensitivity reactions.
