HLA class I genotypes were determined by either the PCR–sequence-based typing protocol, as recommended by the 13th International Histocompatibility Workshop or by targeted next-generation sequencing, as described (11 (link)).
DNA from individuals in the three South African cohorts and the NCI RDP (the majority of the NCI RDP are of European descent) was sequenced for the 5′ UTR, exons, and 3′ UTR of TAPBP. Three gene segments were amplified with Platinum Taq DNA polymerase (Invitrogen) in several fragments: from the 5′ UTR to the beginning of the third intron (approx. 1.5 kb), from the end of the third intron to the beginning of the seventh intron (approx. 1.5 kb), and from the end of the seventh intron to the end of the 3′ UTR (approx. 2.1 kb) (see SI Appendix, Table S7, for primer sequences). The amplified fragments were sequenced by using the BigDye Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit (Applied Biosystems) and run on a 3730 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) (primers used for sequencing are listed in the SI Appendix, Table S7). rs111686073 and rs59097151 were genotyped in the individuals from the Ugandan cohorts by amplifying the two regions containing the SNPs with Platinum Taq DNA polymerase (Invitrogen) (primers used for amplification and sequencing are listed in the SI Appendix, Table S7).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
