title: HLA antigens in patients with psoriasis.
abstract: Tissue typing was performed on lymphocytes of 46 Jewish patients with psoriasis vulgaris. HLA B13, B17, B37 and Cw6 were found increased. It is suggested that the increase in the B and C locus antigens is inter-related and may determine the genetic predisposition for the development of this disease.
