Immunoglobulin allotypes are normally distributed in Swedish AIDS patients.
Immunoglobulin allotypes G1m(a), G1m(x), G3m(b) and Km(1) were determined in 83 Swedish AIDS patients. Twenty of the patients had Kaposi's sarcoma and 29 had Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The distribution of the Gm and Km allotypes did not significantly differ between these different disease categories and the general Swedish population.
