DNA enrichment by allele-specific hybridization (DEASH) was used as a means to isolate individual alleles of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR2DL4) gene from heterozygous genomic DNA. Using long-template polymerase chain reaction (LT-PCR), the complete KIR2DL4 gene was amplified from a cell line that had previously been characterized for its KIR gene content by PCR using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The whole gene amplicons were sequenced and we identified two heterozygous positions in accordance with the predictions of the PCR-SSP. The amplicons were then hybridized to allele-specific, biotinylated oligonucleotide probes and through binding to streptavidin-coated beads, the targeted alleles were enriched. A second PCR amplified only the exonic regions of the enriched allele, and these were then sequenced in full. We show DEASH to be capable of enriching single alleles from a heterozygous PCR product, and through sequencing the enriched DNA, we are able to produce complete coding sequences of the KIR2DL4 alleles in accordance with the typing predicted by PCR-SSP.
