Abstract

HLA-A2 is one of the most diversified HLA-class I antigen with 17 subtypes so far identified at the molecular level. HLA-A*02 subtyping has significant implications on the tissue typing for organ and bone marrow transplantations. Recently, DNA-based typing methods have been successfully applied to the elucidation of HLA gene polymorphisms. In the present study, HLA-A*O2 genotyping was established by using nested polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) and distribution of A*O2 alleles were determined in Korean individuals. Genomic DNA prepared from four B-lymphoblastoid cell lines and lymphocytes from serologically defined 48 HLA-A2 Korean individuals by phenol/chloroform extractions was typed. The results of the four B-lymphoblastoid cells were consistent with the previous data typed by PCR analysis. Five A*O2 alleles-A*0201, A*0203, A*0206, A*0207 and A*0210-were commonly observed in a total of 17 A*02 alleles. Of these, A*0207 (f=49.0%) was the most frequent allele in Korean population. A*0206 (f=28.3%) and A*0201 (f=17.0%) were also found frequently while A*0203 and A*0210 types were observed in less than 5%. In conclusion, the high level of discrimination for HLA-A*O2 alleles will prove useful and informative in the study of transplant survival, and may identify the importance of allelic differences not readily detectable by serology on host and donor compatibility.
