Summary
10 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia were tissue-typed for 21 HL-A specificities. Of these, genotypes of 9 pateints were determined by family analyses. Haplotype HL-A1,8 occurred in 5 out of 18 instances. On phenotype basis, a slight increase was observed in the incidence of antigens HL-A1 and HL-A8. No loss of HL-A specificities could be detected on lymphocytes through family analyses.
