HLA antigens in atopic diseases.
The immunogenetical relationship among atopic diseases was investigated from the point of human major histocompatibility antigen. The relationship between IgE level and HLA antigen was also discussed. (1) Atopic dermatitis had no high frequency in HLA antigens. HLA-B12 in bronchial asthma and HLA-BW40 in allergic rhinitis were frequently found in the population study. (2) No HLA-BW15 was observed in these three diseases. The term called 'disease-resistant antigen' was proposed in this paper. (3) We considered that IgE level is not controled by HLA antigen.
