Figure 2

General overview of the genomic sequence-based SLA-1 typing method. The diagram shows the location and directions of primers used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing. The sizes (bp) of introns, exons, and PCR products are indicated. Because the upstream boundary of the 5′ untranslated region of SLA-1 was unknown, only the minimum size (>92 bp) is indicated.
