hLaType.com is a website about HLA Genes and HLA Tissue Typing.
HLA stands for Human Leukocyte Antigens. The genes, located in the short arm of chromosome 6, encoding HLA molecules are highly polymorphic. There are more than 200 genes of diverse functions in this region.
You will find useful information about the HLA, HLA alleles and the methods of HLA tissue typing.
HLA Typing methods mentioned on this website include the historical tissue typing methods such as serological typing, and the molecular methods of HLA typing. The application of PCR-SSP, SSOP, SBT and the Next Generation Sequence (NGS) are discussed in here.
