title: HLA antigens in Hodgkin's disease of very long survival.
abstract: Determination of 32 different HLA types in the A, B, and C series was performed in 40 patients with Hodgkin's disease, 10 of whom had a very long survival. A group of 1 263 healthy subjects was used as reference. HLA-B18 was seen significantly more often in all 40 patients and also in the subgroup of patients with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. An increased frequency of HLA-A28 was observed among the 10 long survivors, but only with weak significance.
