PG - 518-28 AB - A novel custom bead array technology is introduced, and it is applied to multiplexed analysis of highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genetic loci. Our technology combines the construction of probe libraries on color-encoded microparticles (beads) with semiconductor chip processing to produce custom-designed high-density bead array chips in large quantities. Using this novel assay format, two modes of parallel molecular typing of the HLA complex were implemented, namely direct hybridization, illustrated here for class II HLA-DR, and a novel format of on-chip polymerase-mediated primer elongation, illustrated here for class I HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR using patient and reference cell-line DNA samples. Hybridization-mediated multiplexed analysis of polymorphism method was validated with 142 samples, resulting in 100% concordance with sequence-specific oligonucleotide typing results and a concomitant average of 40% less allele ambiguity. In addition, elongation and hybridization reactions were combined to identify multiple polymorphisms on the same phase of DNA for allele identification.
