 After DatabaseUpdate_321V1.exe is executed on a specific database, 3.18.0
EXP files or lower will no longer import into the updated MATCH IT! DNA
database.
 When 3.21.1 EXP files have been used and the DatabaseUpdate_321V1.exe is
executed, the new names for certain alleles will appear in the Suggested
Assignments and reports; e.g. B*48:04 will now be displayed as B*48:04:01. The
report will reflect 3.21 as the IMGT/HLA Database used for analysis.
 When 3.21.1 EXP files have been used and the DatabaseUpdate_321V1.exe is
executed, samples will not automatically be retyped with the 3.21.1 allele update.
o To re-type all samples in one batch navigate to Review Suggested
Assignments. Open the batch and click the Type Full Batch option in the
upper left corner. Now all the samples within the batch will type with the
correct database version. Note: Your reports will reflect alleles in the
3.21.1 allele database.
o To re-type single samples navigate to Final Typing Assignments and
select the sample. Toggle any probe and click Retype Sample. Note:
Your reports will reflect alleles in the 3.21.1 allele database.

Remember, MATCH IT! ® Analysis Software is an aid to assist personnel qualified in HLA Analysis by suggesting HLA Typing
results, specificity of HLA antibodies and percent PRA. Due to the complex nature of HLA Testing, qualified laboratory
personnel must review any result to ensure correctness. The software is a laboratory aid and not meant to be the sole source of
a definitive result.
