HLA typing in heavily transfused haemophiliacs with or without antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HLA-A, B, DR antigens were determined in 46 patients, heavily transfused with blood products. Patients were 44 haemophiliacs, one case of afibrinogenemia and one case of von Willebrand's disease. Thirty-three patients had HIV antibodies. No significant difference for HLA antigen frequencies was observed in haemophiliacs with or without HIV antibodies, nor between haemophiliacs and a control population.
