Disclosed herein are methods and kits for characterizing HLA types in terms of epitopes, which is referred to as "epityping". In one aspect there is provided a method for HLA typing, comprising detecting a plurality of epitopes present in one or more HLA molecules in a sample from a subject, wherein each epitope comprises a region of the HLA molecule which can be recognised by an anti-HLA antibody, and thereby determining a set of HLA epitopes characteristic of the HLA type of the subject.
