Genotyping of immune response genes and characterisation of antibodies to self and non-self
Discuss your projectKIR genetics is complex: different KIR genes may or may not be present, giving rise to genetic diversity. Like HLA, polymorphic variants of the KIR genes also exist; different alleles may exhibit functional differences.
We perform PCR-RSSO presence/absence testing for the following Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR) genes:
* Including non-expressed null alleles
Contact UsWe use Luminex xMAP® technology to detect antibodies (presence/absence testing) and are able to further characterise antigen specificity as required.
Our assays are able to detect and characterise human IgG antibodies directed against:
