Reason

Immucor Transplant Diagnostics, Inc. has confirmed HLA-DRB1 Probe 091 has been designed with the incorrect sequence. As a result, the Probe is not expected to react with any alleles, including the three rare alleles for which it was designed to detect: DRB107:20 and 11:86 and 13:16. Analysis with Probe 091 as a false negative does not cause a change in serological typing or level of resolution.
