title: HLA antigens in different age groups.
abstract: HLA typing was performed for 17 antigens on cells from 189 unrelated, normal white Caucasians. No significant differences (p greater than 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-B loci and survival until old age.
