Reason

Immucor Transplant Diagnostics Inc., is investigating a single instance of false positive reactivity of probe dqb253 associated with an allele pair of DQB1*03:03:02:01, DQB1*03:04:01.  A false positive result causes the exclusion of DQB1*03:03:02:01/ 03:04:01 as a possible allele combination.  The false positive reactivity is only observed in a DQB1*03:03:02:01, DQB1*03:04:01 heterozygous combination. Other combinations with DQB1*03:03:02:01 or DQB1*03:04:01 are not affected.
