ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Commercial kits of PCR method are widely used in HLA-B27 typing; however, their cost is relatively high. In this study, we evaluated the utility of an in-house PCR method by comparing it with that of a commercial kit.METHODS:
HLA-B27 typing was done in 188 patients by using two PCR methods, Absolute(TM) HLAB27 PCR kit (Biosewoom, Korea) and an in-house PCR method. The primers used in the in-house method were prepared by Bioneer (Korea). Both PCR tests were done by Gene Amp PCR System 9600 (Perkin-Elmer Centus Corp., USA).RESULTS:
The commercial kit and in-house PCR showed 100% concordance rate with each other in HLA-B27 typing. Of 188 patients tested 72 (38.3%) were positive and 116 (61.7%) were negative by the both tests. Of 62 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, 50 were positive (80.7%).CONCLUSIONS:
The in-house PCR is a reliable and cost-effective method and can replace or supplement commercial kits for HLA-B27 typing.
