Abstract
We have investigated the feasibility of using lyophilization as a meth od of preserving whole blood samples for HLA class II molecular typing . Genomic DNA extracted from lyophilized blood appears similar in size to that extracted from fresh or frozen blood and is suitable for both PCR amplification and Southern blot analysis.
