Which of the following methods used to determine HLA types always gives high-resolution results?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SBT (sequence-based typing) always gives high-resolution results as it sequence the entire HLA gene in order to determine the exact nucleotide sequence and alleles present. PCR-SSP (PCR-sequence-specific primers) and PCR-SSOP (PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes) can give high-resolution results, but may not be able to distinguish between certain alleles. CDC (complement-dependent cytotoxicity) is an older method that is not commonly used anymore due to its low resolution and lack of specificity.
