HLA antigens in different age groups

  • Original Contributions
  • Published:
Ricerca in clinica e in laboratorio

Summary

HLA typing was performed for 17 antigens on cells from 189 unrelated, normal white Caucasians. No significant differences (p>0.05) in distributions of different markers were found among the age groups. There does not seem to be a relation between heterozygosity at HLA-A and HLA-Bloci and survival until old age.
